  • cup yogurt plain low-fat
  • 0.7 cup cream sour reduced-fat

  • 12  frangelico 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • grill
  • ziploc bags
  • skewers
  • colander
  • grill pan

Directions

  1. For the dipping sauce, mix the honey mustard and sour cream in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed. This sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients; set aside.
  3. Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 4 long, thin strips. You should end up with about 12 strips.
  4. Place the strips into a gallon-size zip-top plastic bag.
  5. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken, and close the bag. Then flip the bag a few times to ensure that all pieces are coated with marinade, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. When ready to cook, transfer the chicken to a colander to drain off excess marinade. With clean hands, skewer each piece of chicken, threading it onto the end of a skewer. Continue until all of the chicken pieces are skewered.
  7. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium heat. Cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, testing chicken for doneness before serving (meat should be opaque).
  8. Transfer skewers to a clean platter.
  9. Remove the chicken from the skewers, if desired.
  10. Serve chicken while hot with the dipping sauce alongside.
