Chicken and Grape Skewers

Here is another great recipe, low in fat and a wonderful and somewhat different combination of flavors!

Recipe from Ellie Krieger, Food Network

1 lb Chicken breast cut in 1 inch cubes

2 T olive oil

lemon zest from one lemon

1 T lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 T cumin

1/2 t coriander

1/2 t salt

green or red grapes

Combine all ingredients, except grapes, in a resealable plastic bag, and marinate in refrigerator for about 2 hours, turning once. When ready skewer grapes and chicken as pictured and grill them until internal temperature is about 160 degrees. Don't overcook the chicken...nothing worse then eating dry chicken. Enjoy!

I served it over brown rice along with green beans almondine, and here is the recipe for the beans:

Recipe from America's Test Kitchen

1/3 c almonds, toasted in skillet

3 T butter

2 t lemon juice

2 lb beans

1.2 c water

1/2 t salt

Toast almonds in skillet over medium low heat until fragrant, add 3 T butter and brown them, do not burn, watch it closely. Pour into a bowl, add lemon juice off the heat and set aside. Add beans and salt to a large skillet over medium heat, sauté beans for 2 minutes or so and add 1/2 c water, cover and steam for about 8-10 minutes. When water is evaporated mix in almond mixture and serve. It is so delicious!
