Orange-Honey Grilled Chicken Strips

Recipe Link: Source: Fabulous Food Associations

List of Ingredients






Chapter Sunkist Growers

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 35 minutes

Serves 6

1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 4 to 6 halves
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon honey
1 to 2 tablespoons grated orange zest, from 1/2 orange







Recipe



Cut each chicken breast half into 3 lengthwise strips. Thread 3 strips, accordion-style, on each of 4 to 6 long metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 20 minutes in cold water before using to prevent scorching on the grill. To make the basting sauce, in small bowl, stir together the butter, scallions, orange juice, cilantro, honey, and orange zest. Brush about half of basting sauce on the chicken, covering each strip well. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes. If you have to let the chicken marinate for longer, refrigerate it. Do not leave it at room temperature for longer than 15 minutes. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill until the coals are medium hot. Grill 4 to 6 inches from the coals for about 15 minutes, turning several times, until the chicken is cooked through but still moist. Baste several times with the remaining basting sauce. Stop basting about 5 minutes before the chicken is done. Remove the chicken from the grill and serve immediately. (Do not serve any remaining basting sauce with the chicken.)
