When choosing something for this week's family night dinner, my husband wanted to know if there might be something he could grill. I told him I was sure we could find something. We came up with this Chicken Surabaja recipe from McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection (1973), The Pacific Coast.


The dish is really simple. You marinate your chicken, grill it on skewers, and serve it up!

As you can see we opted to dress up the chicken as if it were kabobs. We added pearl onion, mushroom, and yellow and green bell pepper.

Since the recipe called for soy sauce, my intuitive daughter thought it might be nice to give it an oriental appeal. We served the chicken over fried rice with egg rolls.

The dish was good and went over well with everyone. The only thing we are going to change is to eliminate the soy and butter topping. It's really potent. If you are not into soy sauce, you will not like it. The marinade alone gives the chicken just enough of the soy sauce flavor.
