Juicy chicken, cherry tomatoes, whole mushrooms and sweet peppers make these skewers filling. But it's the fresh garlic, chili powder, cumin and cayenne pepper that give them their zesty kick. Larry Smith of Youngstown, Ohio Ingredients:
1 bottle (8 ounces) reduced-fat italian salad dressing |
10 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon white pepper |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepepr |
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces |
8 large fresh mushrooms |
8 cherry tomatoes |
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add vegetables. Seal bag and turn to coat. Pour remaining marinade into another large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate vegetables and chicken for at least 2-3 hours.
