Honey Lemon Chicken Breast Barbecue Recipe


4 pcs. Chicken Breast Fillets (No skin!), sliced in cubes
5 pcs. crushed garlic
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsps. Olive Oil
3 Tbsps. Pure Honey
2 Tbsps. Kikkoman 43% Less Salt Soy Sauce
Pinch of Salt
Ground Pepper Mill

In a medium mixing bowl, massage the chicken breast cubes with the crushed garlic. Then, add all the ingredients together and mix well until the meat is very well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for an hour. Then, arrange in a barbecue stick about 4-5 pcs. per stick. Set the remaining marinate aside.

Spray your grill with a non-stick non-fat cooking spray. Grill the chicken about 4 minutes on each side. If your griller has a cover, then do so. It'll preserve it's moisture.

In a sauce pan, bring the remaining marinate to a boil until it is a nice transparent amber color and very thick. Glaze your barbecues before serving.

JAVA Brown Rice Recipe


1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped garlic
2 Tbsps. finely chopped onions
1 1/2 Tbsps. finely chopped red bell pepper
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 Tbsp. Tomato Catsup
1/4 tsp. Turmeric Powder
Pinch of salt
Ground Pepper Mill

In a saute pan, heat the oil and saute the garlic up until just before it is toasted. Add the onions and keep sauteing until they are transparent. Add the red bell pepper and mix very well. Add the rice and keep folding until all ingredients are incorporated well to the rice. Add your tomato catsup, turmeric powder, salt and pepper and keep mixing to avoid the rice sticking to the pan. Remove from the pan and serve hot.
