Assembly Directions:

In a bowl whisk together all of the marinade ingredients.

Freezing Directions:

Place marinade into freezer bag(s) or freezer containers. Add chicken. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Half and hour before grilling, cut the vegetables into large chunks and add to the marinade with the chicken.  Spray unheated grill with cooking spray. Heat grill to a medium temperature. Place vegetables and meat on skewers alternating chicken, zucchini, tomato, chicken, peppers, and onions as you go.  Grill for 20 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked. Occasionally turn the skewers so that each side is grilled.

Comments:

If you don’t have skewers, you could cook this as a grill packet. You can read about grill packets in the August 2005 edition of the newsletter. Another is to use a grilling tray. This recipe is also a great as just a marinade for full chicken breasts.
