"This is another recipe I got from my Kashi freebie book. (called Brain Foods for Kids: Over 100 Recipes to Boost Your Childs Intelligence). We loved it as is, so I made no changes to the original recipe. Before having this my picky daughter would not eat chicken."

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

2. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning in a small bowl then brush the chicken with this mixture.
3. Heat a griddle pan to med-high heat. Cook chicken skewers for 3 minutes each side until golden and cooked through until no trace of pink inside.

Made these for lunch with my 2yr old son and he ate it up which is not usual for un-breaded chicken! The flavor was not to lemony but gave the chicken something to cover the plain chicken taste; I hate the taste of unseasoned chicken...will make again to cut back on the fat/calories from marinades.
