Spiced Chicken & Grapes on the Grill

Any FoodNetwork fans out there? I use to, meaning pre-blog, watch the FoodNetwork all the time. I would watch any and everything, from IronChef America, to Rachel Ray, and especially Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. (although it always left me wanting a burger at 10pm… so probably wasn’t the best idea) But, one of my favorite cooks is Ellie Krieger. She is a nutritionist and has some great, easy, and HEALTHY recipes. The recipe I’m going to share with you today is one of hers and is one of my families favorites.

I actually made this Spiced Chicken & Grapes on the Grill while my parents where in town. The first thing my dad said when I was walking out to the grill was… “your putting grapes on the grill?” {with his face crinkled and eyebrows raised}  He soon realized how wrong he was… I love it when I’m right. 🙂

Grapes are awesome on the grill, it brings out their sweetness! You will love them and this dish.

To get started you will need to prep your chicken for a marinade. Cut 4 chicken breasts up into 3/4 inch cubes {or smaller} and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl whisk together the 2 T. of olive oil, 1 tsp. of lemon zest (1 lemon), 1 T. lemon juice, 2 garlic cloves {minced}, 1 tsp. of cumin, 1/2 tsp. of coriander, and 1/2 tsp. of salt.

Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.

Prepare outdoor grill to medium high heat. Remove green grapes from stem until you get 2 cups and place in a small bowl.

Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Grill grapes for about 2 minutes. {I use a grill basket but you could use wooden skewers if you prefer}

Serve with lemon wedges.
