A wonderfully refreshing way to marinate chicken for kabobs. We have served these several times and they always get rave reviews from our friends. Using fresh ingredients is the key! I use assorted vegetables like bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomaotes on the kabobs with the chicken.
