Notes
Recipe Variations:
- Use a different marinade - the sky's the limit here! Use ANY marinade or sauce you love for the chicken. BBQ sauce and ranch would both be great choices. Bonus: if the sauce/marinade you choose doesn't have lemon juice, feel free to let your chicken marinade overnight/while you're at work.
- Change up the veggies - feel free to use any veggie you love on your kabobs! Mushrooms, shallots, and cherry tomatoes are all great picks.
- Use chicken thighs - want to keep your grocery bill on budget? Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts!
