Cajun Chicken Nuggets & Grilled Fruit
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Equipment

Instructions
For the Peachy Mustard Glaze

For the Chicken Nuggets & Fruit
- Prepare the chicken by cutting the breasts into 1 ½ inch pieces.
- Add the beer, spicy mustard, and oil in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chicken pieces to the mixing bowl, toss to coat evenly. Cover, place in the fridge for 20 minutes to marinate.

- Bake for 20 minutes turning once, or until light golden brown and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove chicken to a serving tray.
- Prepare your grill for direct medium heat.
- Spray the prepared fruit with non stick cooking spray, place fruit on the grill, and cook 5-8 minutes or until just tender.
