Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken tenders or boneless chicken breasts trimmed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar alternative golden monk fruit
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro minced, leaves
  • 1 Chipotle chili canned or jarred, diced
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle adobe sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare chicken if not using chicken tenders. To prepare, slice chicken breasts in 1/2-inch strips (cut across the grain).
  2. In a large mixing bowl mix together the brown sugar, salt, pepper, chile powder, garlic powder, chipotle chili and adobo sauce.
  3. Pour sauce over chicken and mix to ensure all pieces are layered with the sauce. Cover and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  4. Thread each chicken piece with a wooden skewer.
  5. Lightly coat the baking rack with cooking spray. Place each chicken skewer on the rack.
  6. Adjust the oven rack to the upper middle. Place prepared chicken skewers in a preheated oven at 375°F.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip skewers over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature. Broil for 1-2 minutes on each side if desired.
  8. Serve with a dipping sauce or side dish.

Notes

  • Broil chicken by placing the rack about 6 inches from heat; broil 2-3 minutes per side.
  • For stove top, warm a grill skillet over medium heat and cook chicken 2-3 minutes per side.
  • When grilling, lightly grease the grate and cook similarly to stove top timing.
