A really "sweet" way to grill chicken…

Ingredients:

For the Skewers:
1 whole young sugar beet
1 pound organic michigan chicken fillets, or the breast cut into1/2-inch thick strips
1 tsp freshly chopped garlic
2 tbsps evcp olive oil
sea salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste

1 recipe maple smoked jalapeno & lime glaze (see recipe)

Method:

Peel the sugar beet and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4-inch thick slices (like long French fries).

Cut a sharp notch at the end of the beet skewer to allow the skewer to penetrate the chicken.

Thread as many pieces of chicken onto a single sugar beet skewer. Repeat the process with rest of skewers and chicken. Place the skewers in a shallow bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the oil and garlic, mix well, and then pour the mixture over the chicken skewers let to marinate, covered and refrigerated, for at least 2 hours.

Preheat a grill or the broiler.

Grill or roast the chicken skewers until they are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

Place the chicken skewers on a service plate and drizzle with the maple smoked jalapeno glaze.
