Helloooo Superbowl!  We’re not gonna lie, this year, we’re super rushed as we’re trying to get some food prepared for the Superbowl soiree.  And of course, you likely know that as registered dietitians, there’s a lot of pressure on us. 🙂 After all, our friends count on us knowing that any food that we bring or serve, won’t harm their heart or their waistline!  So we can’t just buy some Insomnia Cookies and call it a day.  But thanks to your requests for easy, healthy, delicious meals that can be made in a flash, we’re always creating recipes that fit the bill. And now, we’re whipping up one of our meals that we’ve shared with you– our Skinny Speedy Honey Ginger Chicken, because it’s so easy to do Superbowl style!

This quick, easy, healthy and delish dish was inspired by our love of honey–and to make it Superbowl style…

…simply prepare it as you normally would (see below), but then simply thread the pieces onto 12 skewers!

Each chicken skewer is only 60 calories– and perfect to serve guests!

Honey Ginger Sesame Chicken Skewers

Serves 12

Ingredients

2-1/2 tablespoons honey

Ginger powder

Garlic powder

3/4 pound very thinly sliced chicken breast

Sesame seeds (optional)– sometimes we cover the chicken with the seeds, but sometimes we’re in the mood for the chicken without the seeds– and it tastes just as delicious!

Directions

1. 1. Add honey to a large skillet over medium heat.  As honey thins, add garlic and ginger.  Then add chicken.
   2. Cook chicken until thoroughly cooked and chicken looks seared and starts to turn a nice golden brown as the honey absorbs into the chicken.  The more thinly sliced the chicken, the better in terms of cooking quickly.
   3. (You may need to cut some of the pieces as they’re cooking in the pan with your spatula so that you have some pieces that can easily be thread onto a skewer.  We actually didn’t need to do that, but imagine that your pieces may be different sized and it’s something to consider!)
   4. Add more ginger and garlic powder to liking.  Once chicken is completely cooked through and no longer pink, remove from pan.
   5. Once chicken has cooled, thread the pieces of chicken through a skewer and serve, enjoy!
