Chicken, Mushroom, and Bok Choy Kebabs

This high-protein dish offers a sophisticated twist on the classic grilled skewer, featuring tender chicken thighs and earthy cremini mushrooms. The meat is steeped in a savoury marinade of ginger, garlic and nutty sesame oil, which caramelises beautifully over a high heat to create a deeply flavoured glaze. The addition of charred baby bok choy provides a fresh, crisp-tender contrast that elevates the meal into a complete, balanced dinner.

Perfect for a healthy midweek meal or an impressive weekend barbecue, these kebabs are as nutritious as they are delicious. The chicken thighs remain succulent on the grill, while the umami-rich mushrooms soak up the aromatic soy and Sherry dressing. Serve these skewers alongside steamed jasmine rice or a light noodle salad for a satisfying, homemade feast that is naturally high in protein.

Ingredients for Chicken, Mushroom, and Bok Choy Kebabs

  • 3 dientes de ajo grandes

  • 120ml reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 80ml dry Sherry

  • 50g packed brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger

  • 2 cucharaditas de aceite de sésamo asiático

  • 675g skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 450g baby bok choy (5 to 6 heads)

  • 230g large cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed flush with caps

  • 120ml de aceite vegetal

  • 14 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes.

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.

Boil soy sauce, Sherry, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 100g , 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger, and sesame oil, then cool to room temperature.

Pour half of marinade into a large sealable bag and chill remainder for basting. Add chicken to bag and marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 3 hours.

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).

Meanwhile, halve bok choy lengthwise and blanch in a large pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 5 qt water) until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Pat bok choy very dry, then, bending leaves, thread 3 or 4 halves (through bulb and leaves) onto each of 3 or 4 skewers. Put on a tray.

Toss mushrooms with vegetable oil. Thread mushrooms (through sides) and chicken (discard marinade) onto remaining skewers, alternating them. Put on another tray.

Oil grill rack, then grill chicken-and-mushroom skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, 6 minutes. Turn over and baste with some of remaining marinade, then grill, turning and basting occasionally (but not during last 3 minutes), until chicken is just cooked through and mushrooms are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.

Lightly brush bok choy with oil and grill, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total.
