Cook about 10 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning chicken and vegetables, and brushing with glaze once or twice. Discard any remaining glaze.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Marjoram, an ancient herb of the mint family, was prized by early Greeks as a symbol of happiness in life as well as the afterlife. The sweet oregano-like aroma of marjoram goes well with chicken, lamb and veal.

Cooking oils contain saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat in differing proportions. Olive oil has the most monounsaturated fat, making it a good choice for heart-healthy eating.

Serve hearty whole grain rolls and ice tea with this chicken salad.
