Asian Chicken Tenders Baked in Foil Pouches

Ingredients:

Boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into nuggets

Soy Sauce

Corn Starch

Hoisin Sauce

Brown Sugar

Grated Ginger

Minced Garlic

Ingredients may vary depending on how much chicken you need to cook. I had about 1 lb. In a bowl I put 1/2 cup of corn starch, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbl grated ginger and 1 Tsp of minced garlic and stirred together. Add the chicken nuggets and toss to completely coat all the pieces. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

I used 18 inch aluminum foil & tore off a piece about the same width. Spoon the chicken along with some of the sauce into the center of the foil. Bring up two sides to meet and fold downward being careful not to allow liquid to spill out the ends. Then fold in the ends toward the center sealing the pouch. Repeat for as many pouches as is needed. Place on a large enough pan to hold them all and put into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. 

Serve with a flavorful rice like Basmati. 

You could add veggies to the pouch like broccoli, carrots, green onions, be creative.

Remember, all you have to wash is the bowl and throw away the foil. I love that part.  Enjoy. 

Kabobs

One of the most fun things to cook is kabobs and one of the great parts of this recipe is that you can vary the ingredients as you like. If you are using wooden skewers you will need to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to keep them from burning. I usually start and end with something like bell pepper or onion, then alternate with whatever you like. It could be a combination of bite size pieces of chicken tenders, onion, bell pepper. Or you could try bell pepper, onion, kilbasa, chunk pineapple. Another would be bell pepper, onion, zuchini, beef.

Once you decide on what combination of ingredients have everything lined up to assemble and place on a baking sheet or they can be grilled. I like to add some sweet barbeque sauce to mine. If using the oven place under the broiler and keep an eye on them to keep from burning. I turn them about half way through adding more sauce at that time. Once the initial prep work is done the cooking will go really quickly so think up what would taste great and have fun.
