I know we’re in August and all, but I’m just now getting into grilling! It took me most of the summer to think “yeah, lets use the grill!” and now that I’m all gung ho about it, summer is nearly done.

Noooooooooooooooo!

Pretty sure that’s how it always happens. #typical #ironic #nowIwannasingAlanisMorissett 

I do believe this happened one time years ago where I wanted something Christmas related in June. I don’t really remember the specific details, but there was definitely a lot of Pandora Christmas station playing. My husband REALLY loved me then.

ANYWAYS, do you feel like chicken tonight {like chicken tonight!}? Please tell me you remember that commercial too!!

I have got the be-all-end-all best chicken recipe on the planet today. And it’s all thanks to this Asian BBQ sauce I came up with a while back to go onto this recipe.  I remembered that sauce one evening whilst I was looking at my condiments in my fridge. {Don’t you do that every Tuesday night too?} So, I made it immediately Wednesday morning and used it on some chicken skewers! Super simple to do, very easy to throw together and marinate all day AND, they take no time at all to cook and are done in 10 minutes or less. Amazing and super tasty meal for you!

Here’s how you make them:Start out by slicing a few chicken breasts into slices. You could do cubes as well…I just thought the long skinny slices would be better for some reason. Whatevs. It’s all chicken.Pour on half of the prepared Asian BBQ sauce {which really is the star of the show} and let it marinate for an hour or so.After that chicken is done getting all delicious, send some skewers through and pop it onto the grill. Add a little more marinade and cook 3-5 minutes a side, depending on how hot your grill is.
Serve the hot skewers over brown rice and the remaining bbq sauce. Mighty tasty dinner right here 🙂

Here’s the printable. Have a great weekend!!
