Tasty Tuesday~ Sweet Chicken Kabobs

I love summer time for so many reasons and bbq'in is one of them! I would have to say that these sweet chicken Kabobs are one of my favorite grilling recipes.



What You Need:

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (1-1/2 inch)
1 each red and green pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce
3 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Make It:

HEAT grill to medium-high heat.

THREAD chicken alternately with pineapple and peppers onto 8 long wooden skewers, using 2 skewers placed side-by-side for each kabob.

MIX barbecue sauce and juice concentrate; brush half evenly onto kabobs.

GRILL 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.

Tasty Tuesday~ Market Fresh Salad

I am really into salads these days. I'm not really sure if it has anything to do with the weather finally getting warmer, or the school year coming to an end and my life seems to be too busy for big dinners, or just because they are so yummy! I thought I would share one of many of my new favorites:




What You Need:

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
1/2 cup KRAFT Light CATALINA Dressing, divided
5 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 carrot, peeled lengthwise into ribbons
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup chopped cucumbers
1/2 cup Crumbled Reduced Fat Feta Cheese

Make It:

HEAT grill to medium-high heat.

BRUSH chicken with 2 Tbsp. dressing. Grill 5 to 6 on each side or until done(165ºF).

TOSS lettuce with carrots, avocados and cucumbers in large bowl. Add remaining dressing; mix lightly. Place on 4 plates.

CUT chicken into thin slices; place on salads. Top with cheese.


So what's cooking in your kitchen??

Yes, L'oreal Sublime Bronze ProPerfect self-tanning Mist. I must say I'm in love!!! It doesn't give you that walking carrot look and it smells wonderful!

So until school is out and I have time to be outside soaking up some sun this bottle and I will have a standing appointment once a week!
