Tender chicken breast and wasabi are a classic combination—wasabi’s subtle heat pairs wonderfully with the juicy breast and brings out its flavor. We add oil to the wasabi so this lean piece of chicken doesn’t dry out while grilling.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Mix the wasabi and vegetable oil in a bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Skewer the cubes of chicken (about 3 pieces per portion) so the chicken covers about 4 inches of skewer. Lightly season all sides with salt.
Step 3
Preheat a grill to medium-hot. Grill chicken breast skewers for about 3 minutes, turning once. Brush a thick layer of the wasabi mixture on top of the chicken. Grill for about 2 minutes more, turning once, and brushing on more wasabi. The chicken meat will turn white when ready. Serve immediately.
