It can be frustrating, but now after years of disappointment I laugh...something as simple as a stick is all it takes to get them to eat what Ive been trying and fighting to get them to eat for months...its fascinating isn't it?
So, the jokes on them again...chicken on a stick it is...and they LOVE it!
My kids all have different palates, different likes and dislikes when it comes to seasoning their meat. So, in all honesty chicken skewers are actually a very fun and easy way to accommodate everyones tastes without having to make 2 or 3 different dinners!
Ive included my families three favourite marinades!
Each marinade recipe is fitting for 2 chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces. Will make approx. 4 skewers for each marinade. Recipe's can be doubled to make additional servings.

~Make each marinade and set aside in bowls

~Let sit in the fridge at least 1-2 hrs or if possible overnight
~If you are using wooden skewers, soak a minimum of 20 minutes before use to avoid them burning during cooking
