Chicken Kabob Marinade

This Week I am all about new recipes!! New recipes take more time in the kitchen but I have to say I love trying new ones!! Last night for dinner we tried this amazing new marinade for chicken kabobs and it was melt in your mouth oh so good!! I am sure it would be good with any kind of meat or just plain ole veggies!! Whatever your pleasure be sure to give it a try!! Grilling season is here and kabobs are a fun and tasty grilled meal!!

Chicken Kabob Marinade

not the greatest picture a bit blurry but you get the point!!

Ingredients...

1/2 cup EVOO

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 garlic cloves

1 tablespoon All-Purpose Seasoning

2 teaspoon sea salt

2 teaspoon dry minced onion

1 teaspoon ground pepper

1 tablespoon honey

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces

2 red bell peppers, sliced

1 orange bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 red onion, sliced into big chunks

1/2 cup cherry tomato

skewers/kabob sticks (note: if using wooden sticks soak them in water for a few hours so they don't burn)

Directions...

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large plastic zippered bag
2. Place cut chicken into large bowl and pour half the marinade over top and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade for at least 1/2 hour. 
3. In the zippered bag with the remaining marinade put the veggies in, zip, and shake around. Marinade for at least 1/2 hour.
4. Spray skewers with non-stick cooking spray and start loading - alternate veggies and chicken on skewers allowing enough room on both ends to hold skewer and allow for turning on the grill.
5. Grill over medium-high heat and learn from my mistake - best to use tongs to turn!!
Last but not least ENJOY!! and then give me your feedback on the recipe!! I love to hear your thoughts as well!! 

We served our kabobs with mashed potatoes and a side of carrots (carrots are my kids favorite side!)

There are many many marinades out there that are equally as delicious BUT I wanted to find something that was homemade, clean, and didn't contain processed sugar.  I used raw honey as my sweetener but feel free to leave this ingredient out if you are sugar free.

Often times I am asked why is eating clean so important to me and here are just a few of the reasons but most of all I feel a thousand times better when I fuel my body with clean whole foods!!
