Yakitori with Raclette Recipe

Ingredients

• Skewers (wooden or metal)
• 1 pound of chicken breast, skinless and boneless, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 1/2 pound Raclette cheese, sliced

Instructions

1. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Add chicken cubes to the marinade mixture and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
4. Thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving about an inch at each end.
5. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. While the chicken is grilling, preheat the raclette grill. Place the Raclette cheese slices on the raclette grill, and wait for the cheese to melt and bubble.
7. When the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a plate.
8. Use a spatula to scrape off the melted Raclette cheese onto the chicken skewers.
9. Serve hot, and enjoy!
