Honey Chicken Skewers

Tonight we tried this new recipes Honey Chicken Skewers I'll be honest though...there were no skewers...Small children and pointy wooden sticks don't mix well :) Here's the recipe w/out the corn as it was shown on Realsimple.com


1/2 c ketchup (organic in this house)
2 T honey
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast (I just used 2 whole chicken breasts)
salt & pepper
oil for the grill

Place 20 eight inch wooden skewers to soak. Heat grill to med high. In a small bowl mix mix together ketchup, honey and worcestershire sauce; set aside. Slice the chicken lengthwise into 20 half-inch thick strips and thread each strip onto a skewer. Season with salt & pepper. Lightly oil the grill. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked thru ~ about 6-8 min. Baste with the ketchup mixture during the last 2 min.


** some notes. Mine were probably a little thicker than 1/2 inch ~ and if you do keep them thicker the skewers aren't necessary (saving you some time!). Also our grill is buried in snow so I used our cast iron grill pan in the oven. It took a bit longer in the oven, but it worked great otherwise! I served this with just some corn on the cob. This recipe is said to serve four.

More recipes please!

So it's been suggested that I post more recipes...seeing that the last one was posted back in Oct it's possibly time for a new one. So for all my FB friends that get tired of seeing my 'is making insert meal here' post...here you go ~ more recipes.

I think I've mentioned before...I love recipe books...I love trying new recipes out on the family. I make a lot from scratch ~ to help with our budget. Plus since my FIL's cancer dx we've changed a LOT about how we eat, what we eat and more. Food plays such a big part in the overall health of your body. So here is to more veggies, less items from a can, and family dinner with out the stress!
