Grilled Island Chicken Kabobs Recipe

These Grilled Island Chicken Kabobs shout Summer! I signed my kids up for swimming lessons this summer. My 5 year old daughter is like a fish- she loves it.

My 3 year old was so excited to start and on the first day of lessons, he took off running towards the pool and jumped in- completely unattended. Unfortunately, the water was over his head and he kept his mouth open, giving him a mouth full of that lovely chlorinated water.

One of the teachers was in the pool and was able to grab him right after he jumped in, but the damage had already been done. Needless to say, he is terrified of swimming lessons and cries when it’s time to go. So for now, I have pulled him out of his class and will just try again next year.

Other than that, our summer has been a blast! We love the warm weather and playing outside. We also love to eat outside and I am always on the lookout for delicious grilling recipes. Shish-kabobs were always one of my favorite meals growing up because I thought it was so fun to eat things on a stick.

My kids love eating food on a stick as much as I do- even the vegetables. This recipe is one of my favorites for a quick and easy chicken marinade. You just can’t go wrong with grilled food!
