Shish Kabobs

Ingredients:
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons oil
Kabobs:
10 large mushrooms
1 purple onion - cut into bite size chunks
1 whole pepper (yellow, orange, red, or green or combo) - cut into bite size chunks
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite size chunks
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Other items:
You could use shrimp, sirloin, pork, cherry tomatoes, canned potatoes, pea pods, Mandarin oranges and much much more!

In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, canola oil, and green onions. Place the mushrooms and chicken that is chopped into bite size pieces into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. If you don't have an hour make sure you do this step first and then cut all your veggies and fruits so that there is at least some time for it to soak in.

Preheat grill for high heat or 400 degrees.

Thread chicken onto skewers with a small space between each piece. On another skewer alternate with peppers and onions. On another skewer mushroom halves and another with pineapple chunks. You will see many recipes that say to alternate the pieces on the same skewer, I do not do this because all of the items cook at different speeds.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Arrange skewers on the prepared grill. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining soy sauce mixture, until chicken juices run clear and there are char marks on the vegetables.
