My 9 year old daughter, Lauren loves these! She asked me to make them everyday for her, minus the sesame seeds. So cute. Use a good set of tongs to handle the meat on the grill instead of a long fork to prevent piercing the meat, which will allow juices to escape.
A great appetizer or even dinner with some rice and a green salad.
2 (8~ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 bacon slices, cut into thirds
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
sesame seeds for garnish
Cut chicken breasts into 24 (1 inch) pieces. Wrap each chicken piece with 1 piece of bacon, and secure with a tooth pick.
Stir together orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, ground ginger and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Remove and reserve 1/4 cup of marinade to drizzle over when chicken is cooked.
Add chicken to bowl, lightly tossing to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding remaining used marinade.
Preheat grill to 350~400 degrees (medium high) heat. Grill chicken covered with grill lid down, 4~5 minutes on each side or until done. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with reserved marinade. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Mmm oh man these sound (and look) delicious!! Asian flavors paired with bacon, YUM! I've got these babies bookmarked for future use :)
