We are all about grilling around here lately!  We’ll take any excuse to be by the new pool!  It just seems to be the easiest idea, and certainly minimizes kitchen clean up time.  That’s a huge plus.  This Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers recipe is certainly one you want to add to your summer cooking list.  This marinade is amazing because it tenderizes the chicken and has such a bright, fresh flavor!

Tips for Making Cilantro Lime Chicken Skewers:

  • Buy the chicken already cut up if you can, and this can really save some time in the kitchen!
  • Skip the kabobs, and just marinate whole chicken breasts to save time too!
  • These would be excellent for fajitas!!
  • If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 20 minutes.  We bought a set of metal skewers that work perfectly.
