Chicken on a Stick

Every time I bring these "chicken on a stick" everyone loves them.

Slice thinly boneless skinless chicken breast. Thread them on wooden skewers and marinate them in KC Masterpiece ginger and garlic marinade for at least 2 hours though overnight is better.

Line the edge of the grill with a piece of foil so the ends of the sticks don’t burn. Grill, turning once, for approximately 6-8 minutes. (The points depend on weight: 1-2 depending on the ounces)

For those who like the breaded taste: Combine the following in a ziplock bag: 1 cup rice krispie cereal /1/8 cup garlic powder/salt/pepper/ 1tbsp chili powder/and Italian seasoning to taste. Crush cereal mixture with a rolling pin.

Cut the chicken the same way, coat them in Dijon mustard and then shake them in the bag of crushed cereal. Bake on a cookie sheet sprayed with pam for 8-10 minutes on 350.
