Shish Kabobs

Unfortunately, the summer is coming to an end. So, before I lie in a bed of snow with angels I want to share this amazingly simple shish kabob recipe. Shish kabobs are the ultimate reminder of the summer season and are absolutely delicious and fun to eat (and make). Ask me about the bbq process ...I can't help ya there. But in terms of preparing this easy peasy appetizer, I gotcha. In fact, 90% of this recipe is preparation.

3-4 thinly sliced chicken breasts

1/2 green pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 orange pepper
1/2 onion

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Step 1

Cut peppers and onion into strips that will appropriately fit skewers. 

Step 2

Pour a generous amount all the seasonings (cilantro, black pepper, pepper flakes, salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, Adobo) into a bowl.

Step3

Add distilled white vinegar to the seasoning mixture. Pour until all seasoning in bowl is fully covered, turning it into a liquid mixture.

Step 4

Place about 5-7 pieces of meat (beef or chicken) in the bowl at a time and use hands to massage the mixture into each piece. 
*If you want an even tastier experience, marinate overnight. Place beef into a large Zip Lock bag with seasoning mixture and put in fridge. If you're also using chicken, do the same in a separate Zip Lock and put in fridge.*

Step 5

*IMPORTANT- wet skewers before use. This will prevent them from burning during the cooking process.*
Place beef, chicken, and vegetables on each skewer in an alternating pattern. Be sure to leave enough  space in between each piece to allow for proper cooking. Make it colorful and fun!

Step 6

Grill those babiessssssss.


*Makes about 10-20 skewers*
*Total time- 30-40 minutes*
