Chicken with citrus sauce

Let me first apologize for the hasty post that follows. Today is short on "me" time and thus this post will have to suffer.

I find that with kids, food items that can be held and that are unique are a big hit, and they're very willing (and eager) to try them. One of our favorites are shish kabobs, because they grill quickly and everyone can contribute in making their own, which in turn increases full bellies & empty plates (veggies & all)!

Grilled Chicken with Citrus Sauce

Yields about 20 Kabobs

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup(s) lemon juice
• 3 tablespoon(s) fresh oregano, chopped
• 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper
• 1 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4" thick cubes
• 1 cup(s) yogurt
• 2 teaspoon(s) fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon(s) orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
• 2 bell peppers each: Green, red, Yellow
• 1 can pineapple chunks
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large tomatoes
• 2 Zucchini, cubed

Directions

1. Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and marinate for 20 minutes.
   
2. Make Citrus Sauce: Stir together the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Cut veggies into 1/2 pieces
4. Cook the chicken: Heat grill to medium high. Run skewers through chicken pieces & cut veggies. Baste with marinade and grill for about 4 minutes, turn over, baste, and grill until cooked through -- about 4 more minutes. Serve with remaining Citrus Sauce.
