Cajun Chicken Kabobs
Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients, as most of them are probably already on your spice shelf. Just line them up and start measuring.

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a glass measuring cup. Pour three-fourths of it into a Ziploc bag. Add cubed chicken breasts to bag and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
2. About an hour before grilling, toss all of the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of marinade. Set aside.
3. Build a fire in grill. Thread chicken and vegetables onto metal skewers. When fire is very hot, grill shish kabobs, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, for 7-8 minutes per side.
