mmm mmm very delicious! we loved them. Just the right amount of herbs and spice. Made it for Sunday dinner with a baked potato and broccoli. I was only able to marinate them for about 8 hours, but they were sooo good, next time I will do them up the night before. Thanks for posting!!

We enjoyed this very much. I cut up the chicken into chunks rather than slices (I was in a hurry and didn't read the directions fully). Rather than serving on skewers, after grilling we un-skewered the chicken and put it all on a serving plate. The flavors blended nicely, and this made a delicious summer dinner. Thanks!
