Directions
Stir the soy sauce, wine, lemon juice, oil, Italian seasoning, ginger, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper in a large resealable bag. Add the chicken, seal it up, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 3 hours—overnight is even better if you have the time. When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and set them aside. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil on the stove to turn it into a tasty sauce. Give the grill grates a light coating of oil to prevent sticking, then cook the chicken skewers for about 8 minutes on each side, brushing them with the sauce a few times as they cook. You’ll know the chicken is done when the juices run clear.
Serving Advice
Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. Rice or mashed potatoes also pair well and help soak up the savory sauce. For added texture, sprinkle some toasted nuts or fresh herbs on top before serving.
How To Freeze This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to avoid drying out the chicken. For longer storage, freeze portions individually and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
