Marinate cubed chicken breast, about 2", in Teriyaki sauce with lemon zest overnite in a storage back. Soak wooden (round)toothpicks in water about 30 mintues before skewering. Set oven to 400º. Skewer once piece of chicken per toothpick. Place on lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes. If you want, heat the left over sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. (You must cook it before using it to avoid contamination). Braise chicken skewers with sauce reduction immediately after removing from oven.

Make sure whatever you use for skewers aren't considered a weapon by the school. sm
Some schools are absolutely militant about anything that even looks like something that might be used as a weapon, no matter the reason or who has it.
My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years

Why are Asian co-workers unfriendly???
I speak to them in the elevator, say Good Morning make small talk.
With the exception of one Asian female co-worker, they never seem to respond, make eye contact or try to make friends or be nice to others.
Are their lives so unhappy they can't smile or make eye contact?
These are educated people, who speak perfect english.
Am I excepting too much?
I am an Asian Pacific Islander
However, I was born in the U.S. I have found that Asian women who was not born in these United States are a little scared of loud-talking, abrasive people in general. It is generally not being unfriendly, just uncertain of the culture they find themselves having to adapt to.
Yes..in the small shops that are Asian run...many to..
choose from. My sis and I saw one lady buy $500 worth of purses, we counted 15 that she had. Every top of the line brand you can imagine. Next year when we go I am bringing and extra suitcase to haul more home! We ate at LA Mela, a fabulous Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street. Sis and I are Italian, so we know good, homemade Italian food and this was top notch! We and our spouses ate and had a bottle of wine, only paid $130 for all of us.
Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
The Asian people I come in contact with are quite friendly with SM
good senses of humor.
I'm trying to be tactful, but you may be the one sending the wrong vibe.
American or Asian Indian? Culture difference might explain his odd behavior.

Maybe a mini-makeover would
give you a confidence boost. Never hurts to go to a highly recommended hair stylist and see what they might suggest to update your look. You could go to one where they do makeup also. Ulta does both.
I love to watch What Not to Wear to see how big a change can be made and to get ideas. Sometimes the difference is huge, and they don't call it "being on the market" for nothing, LOL.

With a mini, can you do everything that you can do with a laptop?
Anyone remember Mini-Poo? ...
For those who don't know, Mini-Poo was a product to put on your hair to prevent it from getting oily (it was like a talcum poweder). Well, I thought it was a great idea and I was sitting in class in high school one day and my best friend was sitting in back of me. She mentioned how nice my hair looked that day and as she said it she patted the back of my hair and, you guessed it, the Mini-Poo looked like smoke coming out of my hair. She couldn't help but laugh....it was embarrassing as everyone in back of me noticed it.
There are many rescues for mini pinpins
We just purchased a puggle and she has been very gentle, and very smart. Not one accident even in her kennel at night. She is a big baby though and doesn't like to be alone, a lap dog pretty much, but has playful moments too. If you are looking for an indoor dog you might want to check them out or the mini pinpins. Good luck to you, whatever you get, I am a firm believer that like children the "parenting" is what is going to make the difference in a good dog or bad one. :)
Well, for one thing, Cash Cab in a mini-van, not a car.

Why a mini-strike? Keep it up and they will step up

Maybe he had some kind of a mini-stroke or something, and it
mini-dauchsands - maggie and milo
Maggie and Milo. both girls. Last one was Ginger - also a mini-dauchsand - she died at the age of 18.
Mini-marshmallow shooters. Saw them in a catalog (sm)
thought they might be a fun for grandchildren. Will their mom kill me? It says for outdoor fun, but you can imagine they will be shooting them inside at least once. They are pretty good about picking up after themselves though.
ANyone have/used these and tell me if I am going to get in hot water if I buy them some. TIA.
As I was saying. Your own children. I love mini yorkies and when my kids
are old enough, I will get one from her. I have bought a lot of things for her dogs and do not resent her at all for not coming to see me. I am very emotionally healthy, have a great relationship with Christ as my savior, but actually feel sorry for her that she is missing out on so much because she refuses to leave her dogs. How can that be at all healthy? And you say you don't want to be around your family because they are not dog lovers? So what? Whenever our family gets together we ALL have things that the other person does or doesn't do, but we still love them as PEOPLE. My mom misses out on a lot and I feel for HER.
As a Biblical Christian, we are called to love others (she is too), and reach out to others. It says absolutelly nothing about keeping your family and friends out of your lives because "they don't like your dogs" or because you don't think they love you if they don't accept your dogs. What an enormously selfish way to live your life.
I am planning several long weekends this summer for mini-vacations.
We are going to drive up to the Omaha Zoo for a weekend. We live in rural Missouri north of Kansas City, so it's about a three or four hour drive.
Then, we have a family reunion in southern Missouri and I'm planning a 4-day weekend for that so we can spend some time in the Ozarks.
Then, we will go into Kansas City to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.
Then, I'm planning a four-day weekend in Branson.
So I guess we are going to explore our state too!
Plus we have a public pool in our town that the kids spend a lot of time at. Then there is girl scout camp for my daughter. My son will be getting a job this summer as he's 16 now and mom can't afford gas for my car and his car and to pay for his dates all of the time.
As you can see I try to keep my kids as busy as possible! There is nothing worse than bored children when you're trying to work!
No, but I love that my neighbor's mini yorkie is named ZEUS! haha nm
,
manicure/pedicure salon gift cert or mini spa day. They love that stuff! (me too) nm
The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
What about chicken; so much you can do with it.
And if you buy the large packages, it's fairly inexpensive. Also, eggs are inexpensive, quiche or omelets. Grilled cheese with tomato. Baked macaroni and cheese casserole. There is really so much.
Do try Zatarain's meals in a box, very cheap and we love them. You just add the meat or seafood. Here is a website.
http://www.zatarain.com/products/products.php/1/1/Rice_Dinner_Mixes
And their rices are by far the best as side dishes, much better than Rice a Roni or Uncle Ben's I think. Cooks up fluffy, not sticky and a large amount.

Here's one of my chicken recipes:
Easy parmesan chicken
Dip chicken breast in melted butter/garlic mix (1 stick butter and 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
Coat with breadcrumb mix (I used flavored/seasoned with about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and pinch of garlic powder added).
Place in pan. Pour the remaining butter on top, or not. I do! :)
Bake in oven at 325 for around 30 minutes.
Yum.
Chicken leg
We played this at a friend's for Thanksgiving. It was fun. There may be a limit on how many people, I am not sure. You take regular dominos. Each draw 7. Before you give out the tiles put the highest domino that is the double number or the lowest number like 1 dot 1 dot. Then, everyone takes turns around the table and puts 1 tile only to match one of the ends. In this case it would be 1 dot of course. If someone has a double number again they put that tile diagonal next to the tile they are matching sticking out like a leg. Then the group has to keep going to match that other side to make the other leg. If you can't match it you keep drawing from bone yard (again one each time then onto the next person). All other times than doubles you keep matching the dots and if after you draw you don't have it next person goes. You do this until a person has only 1 tile left, they say 1. And when the first person has all tiles gone, the game is over and the people add up their dots and that is their high score. I got the highest score ever, which meant I was the biggest loser ever LOL. There are many strategies like cards, but mostly try to get rid of the high number dots first. The difference between this and dominos is the chicken leg part which is tough, and of course the fact you only draw 1 tile instead of keeping going and each person only puts 1 tile then the next person goes. You'd be surprised how the time flies when you play this. BTW: We were all from 46 to 56 in age range there. Hope that if anyone plays this the time flies by as much as it did for me. Happy Holidays!
Raw chicken??
I wouldn't give raw chicken to a dog for the same reasons I wouldn't give it to a person. Dogs can get salmonella poisoning, too.
& ditto what the poster below says about chicken bones. Except neck bones.
I buy chicken thighs once in awhile & boil it until it falls off the bones & add some broth to my dogs' food every day. They eat the *cooked* meat & skin as well, but I throw away the bones.
Andy is a picky eater. It took awhile to find a food he liked. WorriedMom (OP) may just have to keep experimenting.
Chicken
Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet.
Boneless chicken breasts cut in to 1-inch pieces.
Chicken boullion (cubes or powder)
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained.
Onion (to taste) diced small.
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can diced peas and carrots.
Egg noodles, cooked and drained.
Saute chicken, mushrooms, and onion with chicken boullion and low fat spread chicken is cooked through and onions are tender. Deglaze pan with a little milk (basically use milk to loosen any browned bits stuck to pan). Add Cream of mushroom soup, peas and carrots, and egg noodles. Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic, etc. Simmer until heated through and serve.
Cooking chicken
I wound be reluctant to cook chicken on an indoor grill. Pounding the chicken will help, but you really need to be careful about cross contamination. Until you get a feel for it, I would cook it on the grill to mark it, but finish it in the oven. I also would marinate your chicken. I love Soy Vey teriyaki marinade. There are some excellent crock pot recipies that incorporate chicken breast. I got a panni sandwich maker and those are excellent and easy. Start off slowly, look at recipies and do what tastes good. Eating out is definately not a habit you want to get your kids into. Just really be careful with raw chicken. When I pound chicken I use a plastic grocery bag. I put the chicken in there and then pound it. It saves on cleanup of splattered chicken and is more sanitary. All Recipies is a great site, as well as BHG.com. Good luck and have fun. 
Chicken and biscuits?
When I bake a whole chicken at the beginning of the week, later in the week I cut up the leftovers into a casserole dish with a can of cream of potato soup, cream of celery soup and peas and carrots. Top with Pillsbury biscuits. If you want the complete recipe, feel free to e-mail me.
I'm roasting a chicken
probably broccoli from the garden, not sure what else yet.
Chicken Salad
I agree with keeping it simple . . . just wanted to add that I love to use leftover grilled chicken, and don't forget the garlic. Love the garlic!
mix chicken with various marinades...
Use any salad dressing or marinade. Example: steamed/boiled chicken cooled then stir Caribbean mango marinade. Eat as is or mix in some fresh dill, shredded lettuce, fruit, whatever. Have on crackers, toasted pita chips, in a roll, etc. Use any salad dressing or marinade. I never use mayo - too blah, need that zing!
chicken sphagetti (sp). nm

chicken soup does!
and if you make it thicker and put a pie crust lid on it you can make home-made (much healthier in my book) pot pies easily. i would just advise rice instead of pasta...the pasta can lose its texture during thawing sometimes. a beef roast with potatoes and all freezes well too. I usually make a double batch of both of these and put one in the freezer. Same with lasagne. :)

chicken soup
Good ol' "Jewish penicillin" - chicken soup. Use leftover chicken or steamed chicken thighs or breasts if no leftovers are available. Use Swansons natural chicken broth (no sodium) but can use bullion, but it contains a lot of sodium. Use about a quart or more of natural chicken broth. I like to use baby carrots whole, but can certainly use sliced carrots. Season with lots of minced garlic and a little dill weed (maybe a teaspoon). I slice in a couple of things of celery or sliced celery hearts with leaves. I sometimes add noodles, or rice, sometimes I use a package of frozen mixed vegetables which are really terrific, depending on what I have available and what type of soup my family wants. Add some white pepper, not black pepper. Simmer until carrots and celery are soft. If using pasta or rice, add that last, otherwise it soaks up too much broth and gets soggy. My family would eat this even if they were sick and nothing else appealed to them, that is why I call it "Jewish penicillin." This is a Jewish mama's recipe. Enjoy - it is so simple and so delicious not to mention nutritious and healthy. Note: Never let your chicken leftovers go to waste - make a pot of chicken soup!
Chicken in foil - sm
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded a bit thin, place in tin foil, season with Italian spices/herbs, garlic, cover with sliced onion, zucchini, green pepper, a jar of sliced mushrooms, a bit more seasoning, dot with margarine, fold foil tightly, place in a pan, over 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Juices are good on rice.
Can also place all in a 9 x 13 pan, covered tightly with tin foil and baked.
Can vary toppings to your taste - can add shredded mozzarella.
Chicken teriyaki
Is there a reason you can't do it in a skillet? You might be thinking you can't "grill" it over an open grill, which I can understand, but I'm not grasping why you can't use a skillet. A flat or kind-of-flat skillet will work just fine. Brush it lightly with oil to keep the goo from sticking too badly and to provide a bit of something for the meat to brown on. You need the kind of high heat/hot metal of a skillet or grill in order to caramelize the sugar in the sauce. Otherwise, you'll just have baked chicken in goo. (Voice of experience, here!)
A skillet will cook the meat quickly without drying it out. The oven is going to dry it out too much, I think, and you won't get the nice brown glaze outside. The goal is just done, moist chicken inside and a nicely browned crust outside.
Either way, marinate the chicken ahead of time. You can use some dilute sauce for this. Also soak the skewers a few hours in water so that they don't burn as readily.
I guess you can do this in the oven, but if you do, how about cooking the chicken and THEN skewering it? Nobody will know! It will be a lot easier to turn the meat and get good contact with the pan. If you choose to do it in the oven, you might line a heavy pan with aluminum foil, shiny side up, and coat it with a very thin layer of oil. Arrange the marinated chicken so that one side of every piece is flat on the foil. Every so often, turn the meat so another side is down and brush with sauce. When it's done, skewer it with the soaked skewers, add some more sauce, and finish in the oven until the sauce gets like you want it.
If you have a spray bottle, put some water in it. If the skewers do catch on fire, just spritz them out.

how do you cook your chicken?

my sister used to make us rice and teriyaki chicken and i loved it. im not so much a cook, but would like to do this as it seems so simple
fiesta chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces.

chicken w/stuffing
Use Italian dressing to rub on boneless chicken for flavor, prepare corn bread stuffing or instant from mix, either put under each breast or serve separately, peel and wash small potatoes, coat w/the same Italian dressing or non-saturated fat oil, bake at 375 for about 45 min. depending on thickness of chicken, until chicken is well cooked, sometimes you can just put this in a large baking dish and you don't have to do anything but check the chicken to be sure it's "done" and I find it pretty simple and serve a vegetable on the side if available.
Chicken paprikash
I am Hungarian and that is our favorite meal. I figured if he did not like it, he was not worth marrying!!! Luckily he loved it as does our 4 kids now; 2 out of 4 ask for it for their birthday dinner. I do remember the first time I cooked breakfast for him as a married couple and it was an electric stove and I had grown up with a gas stove. I burned EVERYTHING! But, he still ate it and did not complain. 20 years later I'd bet he'd complain if I did it now! LOL
Beer can chicken
Has anyoe ever made this on the grill? How did it turn out, says to cook over one side and have the other side lit, Did you use and special rub on it?
Beer Can chicken
Hi, Just bought a beer can chicken roaster at Big Lots for $3 and you season the chicken and then put over the beer can and place on roaster -- for charcoal grills you use indirect cooking method which is arrange the coals away from the food so that juices from food do not reach the coals. Place a foil drip pan in the middle of the fire box and mound the coals around the pan, making sure the pan is large enough to cover the surface below the food.
For gas or electric follow directions for indirect cooking for units with 2 or more burners, one burner should be turned off after preheating and food should be placed over the unlit or off burner. For units with 1 burner, set burner to lowest available setting cooking times range between 1-2 hours depending on heat source and size of chicken use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Hope this helps

Best Chicken Wings I have ever made myself (sm)
Go to www.bettycrocker.com and do a search for the recipe called "Engine-revving Chicken Wings". I have substituted bottled Chili Sauce for the cayenne pepper sauce (hot sauce), and I have also substituted pancake mix for the Bisquick, and both come out wonderful especially if you prefer "hot wings" that are not soaking in a lot of grease. My only other tip is when you place your foil-lined baking sheet in the oven initially to melt the butter or margarine, when taking it out before loading it with the coated wings, make sure the you spread the butter around because they may stick. Another tip: You do not have to let these marinade the entire four hours. Sometimes, I have only marinated them for two hours, and they come out great. I also have excluded the onion salt that it calls for - still awesome.
couple more chicken recipies.
CHICKEN RUEBEN

recipe for chicken salad
 Anyone have a good one?
it's' chicken, when in doubt, throw it out!!!
Toss it........chicken needs to be refrigerated after cooking and leaving it all night in the oven is not a good thing, I have done it myself and thrown the chicken out.
When in doubt, throw it out! 
Grilled boneless chicken - sm
marinated in low fat italian dressing. Slap it on the George Foreman grill and done in minutes. Sometimes cut them up and toss in a salad. Other times just the chicken, stealing a bite here and there as I work.
When I feel like a change of pace, I dip the chicken in milk and dust it with powdered ranch dressing mix, then grill.
And what I do is add a can of Cream of Chicken about an hour before sm
serving to give you a good, thick gravy - it combines the juices of the turkey plus the good taste of the soup. No one can ever tell how I got the gravy so thick and tasty (over home-made mashed potatoes) but the trick is that instead of flour or corn starch!
