I am always looking for new marinades for chicken.  This one is quick and easy and very tasty.  The first time I made it I marinated some chicken tenderloins then skewered them on BBQ skewers like a satay.  Grill for 10 minutes and enjoy.

Barbequed maple dijon chicken skewers

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons dijon or, our favourite, tarragon mustard
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine marinade ingredients.
2. Add chicken tenderloins, coat well and refrigerate for at least one hour.
3. Skewer lengthwise, like a satay (think of making an S out of each piece). I put 3 tenderloins per skewer.
4. Heat grill, oil grill so chicken doesn’t stick. With a short cooking time this really helps.
5. Once grill is heated, grill chicken skewers for about 10 minutes.

Yield: 4 to 5 servings
