Chicken Shish Kabobs

 These chicken kabobs are great. They are from what I can tell fairly healthy and you can do them all year long. In the warm months on the grill and in the cold months either in a baking dish or kabob-ed in the oven. Is kabob-ed even a word?

They are also extremely easy and only require a little planning ahead of time. We have these a couple times a month because they are so easy and everyone loves them. Last time I made them we had a babysitter coming over for the kids and offered her some. She politely declined and then with some prodding tried one and said they were delicious. She then proceeded to get herself a plate and eat with the kids. They really are so good with or without the peanut sauce I prefer the sauce but others in this house don't so I serve it on the side. Enjoy!
