Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients:

3 T. olive oil

1 1/2 T. red wine vinegar

1 lime, juiced

1 t. chili powder

1/2 t. paprika

1/2 t. onion powder *

1/2 t. garlic powder

pinch ground cayenne pepper **

salt and ground black pepper taste

1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

* I used chopped onion.

** I didn't have any cayenne pepper so I just left it out.

Recipe:

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Add chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until oil and vinegar are blended.

2. Add chicken to the bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. *

3. Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

4. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill chicken for about 10 minutes or until the juices run clear.

* At this point in the recipe, I just threw everything into a skillet and sauteed the chicken until cooked. We don't have a grill. It smelled really, really spicey....like heartburn in a pot....so I added a can of crushed pineapple without the juice.

I would give this a 3 but I think LaDon's was probably lower. With the added pineapple it tasted a lot like sweet and sour chicken. I liked it just fine. LaDon really liked it with shredded cheese and sour cream on top and without the rice. With the pineapple it wasn't spicy at all. Maybe when we have a grill I will make the recipe as it is.
