This recipe is so simple and fast, you will want to make it all summer!
For 4 servings you need:
1 pound of chicken breast tenders
The juice of 1 lemon
1 cup of your favorite buffalo sauce. (look for low fat varieties with low sodium, or make your own with the recipe below.
Place each tender on a bamboo skewer. Lay on a tray, like a small jelly roll pan or small broiler pan. Drizzle with lemon juice, turn over and drizzle again. Pour buffalo sauce over chicken. Be sure it is well coated. Let sit in sauce for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Place chicken skewers on hot grill, such as the George Forman Grill and cook until chicken is done, about 5-7 minutes, turning half way through if you are using a traditional grill. You may want to bast the chicken with additional sauce during cooking, but during the last half of cooking time, do not bast with the same sauce the raw chicken marinated in.
Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks and other fresh veggies.
