    Things To Grab

      Directions

      1. Brush grill grate with cooking oil.

      2. Preheat grill for direct cooking to medium-high heat.

      3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl stir together orange juice concentrate, chipotle peppers, mustard and salt. In a 1-cup bowl, combine barbecue sauce with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice mixture; set aside.

      4. Add green beans and pepper strips to orange juice/peppers mixture in large bowl, stirring to coat. Using tongs, remove vegetables, shaking off and reserving excess. Place vegetables on a baking sheet to transfer to grill.

      5. Add chicken to orange juice/peppers mixture; stir to coat. Remove chicken to baking sheet. Discard orange juice/peppers mixture.

      6. Remove tenders and vegetables from baking sheet and place on grill across grates. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until well-browned and tender, turning occasionally. Spoon or brush reserved barbecue/orange juice mixture over chicken tenders before serving.
