As summer winds down, we’re trying to pack as much fun into the last few weeks of warm weather as possible. Non-stop weekend trips and weeknight adventures means there hasn’t been much time to whip up homemade meals.

These easy, delicious kabobs are the answer.

I like to put them together before bed and let them marinate until we’re ready to throw them on the George Foreman the next day (we need a real grill in our lives). They only take about ten minutes to cook, which gives me plenty of time to make some couscous and salad — the perfect sides for this dish.

This chicken also tastes great cold in salads or on sandwiches!
