    Well - let's do one word for this one - WOW! That's it! I placed all items into a gallon freezer bag, then added chicken, and let it marinate for 2 hours. Grilled the chicken, and served it alongside carrots piedmontese (#24156), zucchini ribbons w/ basil butter (#34110), swiss chard w/ feta cheese (#11548)...a fabulous meaal - and fairly low-carb. THIS is a keeper! I'm keeping this in mind for times when company comes on short notice - WONDERFUL - thank you!

    Made this last night and LOVED it. Skewered small pieces of chicken with red and yellow peppers, served with Spinach and Feta Orzo, store-bought naan, tomato salad, with oranges sprinkled with cinnamon for dessert. It was fabulous and so easy!
