I know everyone thinks their kids are smart, cute and witty; mine actually are. (wink)
They crack me up anyway, but I tend to see the funny side of life.
Take for instance Ryder’s comment while I wanted to get this picture.
“Mommie, I was thinking about chicken wings so I would smile!”
HA! Love those two!
Sunday I took advantage of pretty weather and idle boys and asked the men of the house to grill chicken.
Lincoln is getting a little more adventurous with his eating so I changed from his usual marinade
and tried this version. He actually loved it and it wasn’t too hot for him.
The team – garlic, agave nectar, soy sauce, lime, red pepper and chicken
Combine all the ingredients in a freezer zip-top bag.
Place the bag in a bowl in case you have a leak. I am really glad I always use the bowl trick because I did have a leak and the marinade would have been all over the refrigerator!
Marinade chicken at least 2 up to 6 hours then grill.

- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lime juice and zest
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions
- Cube chicken in 2 inch cubes. Try to get all the pieces about the same size for more even cook time. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a zip-top freezer bag. Remove 1/4 cup of marinade to use as sauce for dipping; set aside. Place chicken in bag with remaining marinade; squeeze to coat chicken. Place bag with chicken in a bowl and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours up to 6 hours.
- Soak skewers submerged in water 10 minutes.
- Place reserved marinade in small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until sauce begins to thicken.

Cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes, turn and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until done and slightly caramelized. Serve with reduced marinade.
