Today is officially the first day of summer!!! What has also definitely started is BBQ season! I do bbq all year, yes even when I have to shovel off the bbq. It is much easier and more enjoyable when the weather is warmer!

If there is a great sale on chicken you can slice it up and add your chicken and marinade to the bag and freeze it. Then when your bbq night comes, defrost and you’re ready! Here are some more great tips to make your summer cooking easier!

Remember, that if you are using wooden skewers make sure that you have soaked them in water for at least a half hour before threading on meat.

Ginger Sesame Chicken Skewers ( Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Paleo)

2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1/2 c. ginger sesame dressing/marinade.

Slice chicken into strips. Put into glass dish. Mix in ginger sesame marinade. Let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Preheat bbq to medium heat.

When ready to bbq, thread meat onto metal skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure that you have soaked them in water for at least a half hour before threading on meat.

Put skewers directly onto heated grill. Grill for approximately 6 minutes, then flip skewers. Grill for 6 more minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked. Be careful, the metal skewers will be very hot. Yes I have burnt myself…

Leftovers, if you have any, can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
