Grilled Honey Garlic Asian Chicken Kabobs

I love grilling, and these Kabobs are on of the best things to come off of the grill this Summer!  The chicken marinates in a delicious concoction that is sweet and spicy with a little kick of ginger and garlic.  Once grilled, they get basted with some more sauce boosting the flavor of these even more!  
These are a family favorite! One of those "unicorn" meals that everyone loved and wanted more of!! 
We love eating these with rice and broccoli, with some extra sweet and spicy sauce on the side and a little soy sauce for drizzling over the rice.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons of PF CHANGS Sweet Chili Sauce 
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks*

2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional

Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine oyster sauce, ketchup, honey, sweet chili sauce, mustard, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon water. Reserve 1/3 cup and set aside.
In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine oyster sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Brush skewers with reserved oyster sauce mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
