Delicious - we grilled ours and increased the chicken a bit to serve 3 people. Served with fruit salad and watermelon for dessert for a wonderful summer meal. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for a keeper recipe!! Great for days when you don't want to grill outside, but want the same effect by using the oven. I doubled the spices and used 4 very large chicken breasts. Because I had them on hand I used 1 green pepper, 1 large onion and 2 red peppers, instead of the squash. I Broiled for 15 minutes. Great with wild rice and salad.

Good Kababs. The ingredient list looks long, but these went together in a flash, and were great for the grill. There was just enough heat to notice, not so much that they burned your mouth. We doubled the garlic, but otherwise made as written. Made for ZWT5 by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.
