Honey Ginger Chicken Bites

I found this recipe that looked great and kid friendly. Pressed for time, I ended up using it as a marinade and grilling it instead. If anyone tries the original and glazes it, I'd love to know how it turns out. Otherwise, this makes for a delicious marinade.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 16 thighs)

Directions:

Mix all together and marinade for at least 1 hour. Grill or bake.

Marinated Grilled Chicken

{This is my favorite chicken marinade because it is sweet enough to appeal to my boys but subtle enough to be adapted into any recipe}.

Ingredients for Marinade:
1 TBS Lemon Juice
2 TBS Soy Sauce
2 TBS Honey
1 TBS Olive Oil

Mix all ingredients together and marinade chicken (4 breasts) for at least 1 hour. Heat griddle (can use frying pan if you don't have a griddle) until really hot. Brush with olive oil. Cook chicken until cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Serve.

Optional: If you want to serve the remaining marinade as a sauce, strain and pour into a sauce pan. Heat to boil and then simmer for 1-2 minutes. Pour on top of chicken (and side vegetables if serving).

Makes 4 servings.

{Marinade: approx 67 cal per serving (if you reserve the marinade and serve on top, less if you toss remainder)
Thin sliced Chicken breast: approx 120 cal per 4 oz.}
