I go through phases where I just want to eat snacks, and not real meals.
Snacks work good for me, so I can eat little meals throughout the day and not eat of ton of food.
Yum!
I first saw this recipe here. While these appetizers looked fantastic, I wanted to know what the sauce was! I guess I am more of a condiment girl.
I thought about making a plum sauce to go with this, but eventually decided on a cherry sauce! I was thinking fruity would go good with the chicken.
After a few failed attempts, I settled on this sauce. Sweet, yet salty!
Sweet and Salty Cherry Dipping Sauce
Print this recipe!
1 lb fresh (or frozen) cherries, pitted
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. If the cherries were frozen, you may want to heat the sauce up before serving, otherwise serve at room temperature.
Bacon and Chicken Bites
Adapted from Skinny Taste, recipe found here
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
6-8 slices bacon
Preheat oven to 350.
Cube the chicken breast into smallish cubes – 1 inch works well. The chicken I bought was pre-sliced, so my chicken pieces were a little thinner.
Cut each strip of bacon into 5 pieces --- about 2 inches long each.
Wrap each cube of chicken in a piece of bac on, and insert a toothpick to hold it together.
Place on a baking sheet. Repeat for each piece of chicken.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from baking sheet and blot any access grease off and let cool slightly.
Serve with the dipping sauce!
Get ready to snack away!
