Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Golden Oriental Skewers

I was so excited about the eggplant fries that I forgot to post this recipe we made on the same night. This chicken was quick, easy, and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
2 TBS soy sauce
1 envelope Asian Sesame Salad Dressing Mix
(I couldn't find this... so I tossed in some garlic powder, ground ginger, and pepper)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut lengthwise into strips
wooden skewers- soaked for 1 hour

DIRECTIONS

MIX honey, juice, soy sauce and salad dressing mix in large bowl until well blended. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing mixture; refrigerate. Add chicken to remaining dressing mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate 1 to 4 hours to marinate. Drain; discard the dressing mixture.

THREAD a wooden or metal skewer through each chicken strip.

Use Your Grill
Place on grill over medium coals. Grill 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning and brushing frequently with reserved 1/4 cup dressing mixture.

VERDICT

This is the perfect summer meal. The missing salad dressing packet was not a problem at all- the ground ginger, pepper & garlic added great flavor to the other ingredients.
