A sneaky hand, going for a forkful of rice!
This is a great casual dinner, even perfect for parties since eating food on skewers keeps your hands clean and is great for presentation.
To make them, you need bamboo skewers (soaking in water for at least a half hour prevents charring), chicken tenders, honey, whole grain mustard and dijon mustard. In place of honey, you could use apricot preserves or any sticky sweet thing that might work well. Our grape jelly was not at all appealing.Below, the assembly line ready to go: Skewer chicken, roll in ham, bathe in honey mustard, stick in panko crumbs. Repeat.
Make sure the honey-mustard is to your liking! At first mine was too sweet so I added more whole grain mustard but that still wasn't right. Dijon cured it! Remember (I didn't) to keep some untainted sauce aside for dipping!
Asparagus for a side. It had been so long- Like to make it simply on the grill or in the toaster oven. Make a foil dish, splash olive oil, balsamic, oil and garlic powder, s & p.
Break apart asparagus by hand. First in half then the headless end gets the "tough" part snapped off. Toss around to coat (use your hands) and cook (I use a toaster oven) at 425 for 6 minutes.
Cook the chicken at 450 for 16 minutes (or less), flipping them halfway through.
