Importance of Healthy choices for kids

Nikki discusses NBA Fit Week – Children’s Health Fair on Jan. 31st and prepares Hawaiian Chicken & Pineapple Skewers, and fruit skewers with yogurt and veggies.

HAWAIIAN CHICKEN & PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

6  10-inch wooden skewers
6  chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
18  pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
2 teaspoons old bay seasoning
¾   cup teriyaki glaze
 
1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes, to prevent burning. Cut each thigh in half, lengthwise.  First thread 1 piece of pineapple onto the skewer, then 1 chicken strip.   Repeat the process, alternating chicken & pineapple.  Each skewer should begin & end with a piece of pineapple.
2. Preheat oven on broil.  Line a sheet pan with foil & coat with non-stick spray.  Lay chicken skewers flat onto pan, season with old bay & brush on thick teriyaki glaze.  Turn over & repeat on the other side.
3. Place pan under broiler on low, or lay pan on the bottom rack in the oven.  Lightly broil for 14-17 minutes, or until done.
