Chicken Skewers (Kabobs)

Simple. Easy. No fuss and lots of flavor. Marinate the chicken for a couple of

hours and then throw on the grill!

You could add tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, or any other vegetable that

will hold when grilled. I like simplicity when it comes to grilling so I just did

onions and chicken on this one. but you can make this recipe your own... I encourage that!

Remember, the longer you marinate the chicken, the deeper the flavor!

Let's make it!
