CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH DUKKAH CRUST AND BALSAMIC REDUCTION
Dukkah makes everything better. This Middle Eastern spice mix, often including sesame seeds, sumac, and hazelnuts, is most commonly combined with oil and used as a dipping sauce. This recipe coats the chicken in mustard and dukkah and is accompanied by a sweet-sour sauce of honey and balsamic vinegar. If you have the time, you can make your own dukkah using Recipe #78932 or something similar. Otherwise, you can find it at gourmet grocery stores, at Middle Eastern stores, or online at Spice Bazaar. The vinegar-honey sauce and dukkah (if making) can be done up to five days ahead of time. Coat the chicken in the dukkah mix up to 2 hours ahead of time and then refrigerate them. When ready to eat, bake off the skewers and warm up the sauce over low heat until it is syrupy. Slacker solution: If you can't find dukkah and don't feel like making it yourself, substitute toasted fine breadcrumbs. Recipe courtesy of Aïda Mollenkamp.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F
- Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the mustard and olive oil, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the chicken in the mustard mixture until well coated.
- Combine the dukkah and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a wide, shallow dish and mix thoroughly. Roll each tender in the dukkah mix until well coated.
- Thread a chicken tender on each skewer. Place the chicken skewers on wire cooling racks. Nest each wire rack in a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until the meat is firm and the dukkah crust is golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Serve the skewers with the vinegar-honey sauce.

DUKKAH CHICKEN
I looked on Zaar for a recipe for this, and couldn't find any, so I decided to make up my own. I recommend serving this with my Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661)

Steps:
- First, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 180ºC, and line a baking tray with waxed paper.
- Put all of the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, and give it a few quick pulses, to mix the cheese through evenly (If you're using powdered cheese, you can skip this step, and just put it straight into a bowl, and stir it through with a fork).
- Dip each piece of marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, being sure to coat it thoroughly and evenly.
- Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, and give them a quick spray of olive oil.
- Bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes, then turn them all over, and give them another 15 minutes.
- Serve with Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661), and Herb, Lemon, and Garlic Dressing (#178208).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine mayonnaise, lemon peel, garlic, lemon brine, cayenne pepper, and saffron in a mini food processor; blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice. Refrigerate aioli until ready to use.
- Place egg whites into a dish or bowl. Place dukkah into a second dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg whites, letting excess drip off, then coat with dukkah. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
