Chicken Kabobs a Summertime Favorite

One of my favorite summer barbecue food items is chicken kabobs. I came across this recipe on "Life Tastes Good" and slightly altered it with one of my favorite ingredients. It's quick and easy to prepare. Give it a try.

Ingredients

• O’Meagher Farms Spicy Asian Honey Marinade
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
• 2-3 yellow onions, cut into, approximately, 2 inch pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into, approximately, 2 inch pieces
• 1 (16 ounce) container fresh white mushrooms, whole, cleaned
• 1 pineapple, cored and cut into cubes
• freshly chopped parsley for garnish
• Skewers

Instructions

1. Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper and place in the O’Meagher Farms Spicy Asian Honey Marinade with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, onions, red peppers, and whole mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remember if you are using wooden skewers to soak them in water overnight as well.
2. When ready to cook, oil the grill grates and preheat the grill to mid-high heat.
3. While the grill is heating, drain the marinade from the chicken and vegetables. Discard marinade. Assemble the kabobs by skewering chicken, pineapple, mushroom, red pepper, onion, and another piece of chicken (if you have room for it) onto each skewer until you've used up all the ingredients.
4. Carefully spray the grill grate with cooking spray and place the skewers on the grill. Close the lid and allow them to cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving them. After 5 minutes, carefully turn each skewer over (I use tongs to do this). Close the lid and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, brushing with the reserved marinade for that last minute. Cook until the chicken juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink inside. If the skewers stick to the grate that could mean the heat is too low or they just need a little more time to cook. When they are ready to turn, they should release with little sticking. Serve and enjoy!
