Greek Chicken Kabobs....

These tasty skewers were fast and easy to make. I saw the recipe over at My Baking Addiction and knew I had to try them. If I could change one thing it would be to marinade them for at least a day ahead. I waited about 5 hours and the flavors were there but left longer, they would be really pungent. I added small potatoes to the skewer for the first time but make sure you par-boil them for about 10-15 minutes, any longer and they might break apart when pierced.

I served them beside some couscous but you could also partner them with a nice feta salad.

Let the summer grilling commence!
