Grilled Chicken with Cumin

There is something about summer that makes me want to go out to our patio and light up our grill. I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy the grilling experience. Here is a Chinese flavored grilled chicken that is simple to make and low in fat, all it takes from start to finish is 30 minutes. This recipe idea came from my fiancee Renee and it was an instant hit.

Grilled Chicken with Cumin

Serves 2

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
6-10 wooden skewers, soaked in warm water for 8-10 minutes
1.5 pound of boneless chicken thigh or breast,
cut into 1-2 inch wide thick slices
couple sprays from nonstick cooking spray
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cumin powder

2-6 teaspoon chili pepper



Tips:
  1. Couple vegetables options that could be grilled and served with chicken is grilled mushrooms, grilled corn, grilled white peach (oh, it was so good), and grilled bell peppers.

Instruction:
  1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat
  2. Put the chicken pieces on the wooden skewers, spray with nonstick cooking spray
  3. Put the chicken skewers on the grill, cook for 1 minute, sprinkle on the salt evenly on both side of the chicken by turning it once. Let it cook for 2 minutes, then rotate the chicken and sprinkle with cumin. Before the chicken is done (about 7-9 minutes total), sprinkle with chili powder and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Transfer to a place or tray and serve
