"This is great with Peanut Noodle Salad. It's refreshing and a nice change of pace from your average grilled chicken. If you don't have bamboo skewers, don't worry... I don't use them half the time either. Just grill chicken and enjoy."

I am a fitness instructor with a passion for cooking. I love to take recipes and see if I can convert them to something a little lighter but still tastes great.
