Summer is only a few weeks away from being official.   For most families it is a busy time of the year.   So get out the grill and with a little time spent on prep you can have a dinner the kids will love and grownups will have a meal that is filling and not fattening.

Grilled Orange Chicken Fingers

Serve with carrot sticks and dip and kids will love this meal: they can eat everything with their fingers. The simple, sweet glaze for the chicken can be whipped up fast; marinating time is just 15 minutes and the marinade caramelizes deliciously on the grill.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons frozen orange-juice concentrate, thawed
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
Cut chicken crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Whisk together mustard, orange-juice concentrate, honey, sesame oil and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the chicken and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat grill or broiler. Lightly oil rack or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the chicken strips from the marinade, discarding remaining marinade. Grill or broil until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and serve.
