Sweet BBQ Chik’n Kabobs (slightly adapted from Kraft Recipes, Servings: 4, Total Time: 25 minutes)
Ingredients
· 1 package Trader Joe’s Chickenless Chicken Strips
· 2 cups pineapple chunks (I used canned)
· 1 each red and green pepper, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
· ½ cup BBQ sauce
· 3 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
Directions
1.) Heat grill to medium-high heat
2.) Thread chickenless chicken strips alternately with pineapple and peppers onto 8 long wooden skewers, using 2 skewers placed side-by-side for each kabob.
3.) Mix BBQ sauce and juice concentrate; brush half evenly onto kabobs.
4.) Grill 8-10 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.
This recipe is easy to make, low on calories and fat – and pretty tasty too. I find it very sweet (from the OJ concentrate and pineapples), but also a little savory from the BBQ sauce. The peppers remain crisp and add a nice component to the soft chikn and pineapple chunks. I actually just warmed mine up in a pan instead of using skewers because I was really low on time, but I think grilling would be great, too. I also like that this dish is so colorful – red, yellow, green! It makes for a nice plate. I recommend serving with rice, or wrapped in a tortilla or pita bread.
