Method
Everyone loves grilling, this simple dish imparts tremendous flavor with simple ingredients. By grilling slightly larger the bite sized pieces, each piece to become slightly more smoky and much more flavorful as the marinade covers more surface area.
To begin, cut up the vegetables into 'two bite' size. For the tomatoes, leave them whole. Next cut up the chicken into bite sized pieces. Remember that the vegetables will cook faster than the chicken. We want each to be properly cooked when we pull it off the grill so size is important.
Now skewer each ingredient. Alternate vegetables with chicken. In a separate bowl mix the marinade ingredients and cover with the chicken. Let marinate for a few hours.
Over a medium high heat, place the skewers on the grill. For the dark meat cook for about 7 min on the first side. Then roll the skewers over and cook for another 5 min. For the white meat, pull them off the grill just a bit earlier.
