Just a few days ago my friend Alvaro gave me a great recipe for a really simple and tasty chicken dish. In his words"you just need 3 ingredients!" makes this recipe easy and and fun.
Here are the 3 items; boneless skinless chicken breast, basic yellow mustard, and a 12 oz. can of cola. For about 4 large chicken breast you need about 3/4 cup of mustard. I put the breast in a large zip storage bag with mustard and toss it around to really cover the chicken good. Once they are coated nicely, into a 8x8 glass baking dish they go. Pop the top and pour the cola over the chicken and bake at 350 degree for about 30 minutes or until the juices run clear. Rice pairs up great with this dish.
But where are the sticks you ask?
I really enjoy taking a great recipe and making it versatile. So to jazz this one up I cut the chicken into large cubes add the mustard and put the chunks on skewers alternating the chicken with fresh pineapple wedges. These cook up great in a stove top grill skillet. While the chicken cooks I reduce the cola down to a syrup in a small pot. When the chicken is just about ready to come off the grill, brush the meat and fruit with cola syrup. Sprinkle the skewers with sliced green onions and serve on a bed of coconut rice. Perfect party food!
