Winner winner chicken dinner...

Anyone needing a quick, healthy chicken recipe?

Well....guess what? I have one! {and it happens to be DEEEEE-lish!} I made it for dinner this evening for myself and FH, but didn't think it would fly with the kiddos so I just had them eat a mexican, kidney bean rice dish. How wrong I was! I didn't get to eat much of my own share as I was being badgered by my twins to share the love. They enjoyed it as much as we did, so don't count out the kids on this one people!

Herby, lemony chicken kebabs.

Ok, so here's the DL on how to make it:

Put the oven to 350 degrees. Set aside some wooden sticks/XL size toothpicks (don't judge me! I'm not a chef, I don't know the name of them) and have them soak in water. This is mainly for those who choose to BBQ them, but I do it because I can't bear the idea of splinters and it seems less likely to happen when they're wet...right? *awkward silence*

Ok, now chop up some chicken breast into bite size pieces, and do a chunky chop on any veggies in your fridge that you think might taste good roasted. I had a little bit of a bare fridge so only managed to scrounge peppers and onion. Snore.

Leave them to marinate for a little or as long as you like in this little concoction:

• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, a squeezed lemon, 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 
  

Once they've been allowed to mingle with all the flavours start to arrange them on the sticks. Do NOT push them too close to each other otherwise you may get uneven cooking etc. I laid my sticks on my cookie sheet and they conveniently rested on the edges so I wasn't in any danger of them sticking to the bottom.

Cook them for roughly 30 mins, but keep an eye on them. If you want a more charry feel then crank the heat up a little. Basically, I eye-balled it and cranked it up at the end to get a little burning action going on. Yum. {Even better: Stick it on the grill!}

Here they are cooked. FH apparently couldn't wait to dig in and so that explains the empty sticks. Please excuse his bad manners. He backs me up and agrees these are delish and you definately forget they're healthy, and they stand alone as a good dinner! No need for extra cals!

Bon appetite my bloggy friends!
