Chicken Kebobs -- Healthy and Yummy

I love kebobs, and they are so easy.  I use my friend Brooke's recipe for the marinade.  She actually uses it for tostadas, and I bet that is yummy.  I use it for everything.  I also use it on pork, and it is just as good.  Honestly, any recipe she has ever given me has been delicious.  I don't know why I wasn't smart enough to borrow and copy all her favorite recipes before she moved.  Major fail on my part. But I digress. . .

This is what we are making.  Yes, it is good.

This is the marinade. 1/2 c. lime juice, 1/4 c. soy sauce, 1/4 c. vegetable oil, 1Tbl. honey, (you can use splenda), 2tsp. minced garlic, 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder.

Marinade the chicken for at least 4 hours.  I did cube mine first.

I cut up green and red peppers, and a red onion and added 1/2 of the marinade to the bag of veggies. You could add mushrooms, bell tomatoes, pearl onions and even pineapple- which would be fabulous.  :)

Just being honest- I normally marinade them together.  I know you aren't supposed to, but I'm going to grill them together anyway, so I do. 

I assembled the meat and veggies on skewers.  Just a hint- soak your skewers for at least 4 hours also. Just soak them in water.  It keeps them from lighting on fire while they are on the grill.

Another view.  Lots of people grill their meat and veggies separately, in case they cook at different times.  I have never had a problem, as long as I have also marinated the veggies.

Grill them up until the meat is done.  Looks yummy huh?

I wish I would have added the pineapple.  Pineapple is one of the few fruits that would work, because it takes forever to caramelize.  It always amazes me as to how long it takes to cook fresh pineapple.

But I did add the pineapple to my plate. Yum.
