Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack or if you do not have a wire rack line with parchment, tin foil or a silpat. Spray with cooking spray or oil with olive oil. In three separate shallow bowls place the whole wheat flour, panko bread crumbs and buttermilk. Working in batches, dredge chicken in flour, dip in buttermilk, then coat with the panko bread crumbs, pressing them into the chicken.
02
Lay on prepared baking sheet. Spray chicken with cooking spray.
03
Bake until the chicken and coating is brown and crisp, about 15 minutes (10 if you cut your chicken really small).Meanwhile, whisk water, soy sauce, jam, ketchup, hoisin, corn- starch, and vinegar together in bowl.
04
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet with sides over medium heat until shimmering.
05
Add garlic, ginger, and chili paste. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
