Fantastic Gluten Free Chicken Kabobs

Kabobs make great summer dinners!  We made these for father's day.  They were so yummy.  I like to make kabobs for special occasions.  This recipe is certainly worth all the extra work!

The marinade for this recipe comes from my Come & Dine cookbook, and it's really good.

Gluten Free Chicken Kabobs

 1.  Prepare chicken:  Rinse a 2.5 pound bag of chicken breast tenderloins and cut into 1" pieces for the kabobs.

2.  Prepare chicken marinade:  
(1)  In a small bowl mix together 1/3 cup of gluten free tamari, 1 t of olive oil,  3 T brown sugar, 1/8 cup rice mirin, 1 clove of minced garlic, 3/4 t of minced ginger, 1/4 t salt, and 1/4 t of black pepper.
(2)  Add the chicken and let it marinade 4-6 hours or overnight.  (I just marinated it for about 6 hours)

3.  Prepare vegetables:
(1)  Chop an onion into about 4 wedges so that you can easily pull it apart and put on a skewer.
(2)  Slice  2 red peppers and then cut into 1" pieces
(3)  Slice 1 zucchini and 1 summer squash into rounds
(4)  Additional:  Mushrooms, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks
(5)  Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables to coat them then sprinkle with some Costco Organic No Salt Seasoning or something similar.

Note:  You can put the skewers into a pie pan with a bit of water to soak so they don't burn on the grill.

4.  Prepare kabobs: This is the funnest part!  It was a beautiful sunny day so my daughters took the bowls out onto the deck to make the kabobs.  

(1)  Arrange the vegetables and the chicken in a alternating pattern.  I try to put some onion near the chicken to give it more flavor.  

(2)  We made some separate chicken and separate vegetable kabobs as well as some combination kabobs. 

(3)  Save the marinade and put it in a pan, and cook it for 5 minutes. You can  brush the kabobs with this remaining marinade  when you flip them for extra flavor.

5.  Grill kabobs:  Cook the kabobs on medium high heat and rotate them every 4-5 minutes until the chicken is done.
