Steps:
- Soak bamboo skewers in warm water for 1 hour.
- While skewers soak, mix teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sweetener together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; the longer you marinate, the better the flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Thread chicken onto bamboo skewers and place on a nonstick shallow baking pan. Discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken pieces are no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:
- To make the chipotle sesame sauce, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, chipotle powder, and lime juice.
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken in the chipotle sesame sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- If you don't have bamboo skewers, you can use metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the skewers before threading the chicken onto them.
- Cook the chicken skewers over medium heat until they are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally.
- Serve the chicken skewers with the remaining chipotle sesame sauce, rice, and your favorite vegetables.
Conclusion:
These chipotle sesame chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with rice, vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.
