Whisk together marinade ingredients and set aside 1 tablespoon for basting later. In shallow dish, cover chicken with marinade until well coated. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 2. Using four kabob skewers, arrange 3 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces each of zucchini, pepper and tomatoes per skewer. For easier grilling, start and end each skewer with chicken. 3. Coat grill lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Place skewers on medium-hot grill. Turn frequently and brush with reserved marinade. Cook for 18-25 minutes or until juices run clean. Cooking time will depend on size of chicken pieces and temperature. \* 4. In meantime, for dressing, place ingredients in food processor or blender. Puree and set aside. 5. After removing kabobs from grill, let stand 5 minutes. Serve with dressing on side. | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=l6FWRpgRPfBYxOpAByyH9g&ref=foodconsumer.org) [](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=kHsrmq3VJ%5FgxAMY4FzPv%5Fw&ref=foodconsumer.org) [](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=Ds7qUXyaDk-SGaFp3BeceA&ref=foodconsumer.org) [](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=LprI8Sgrrxe5B9pukK5Fww&ref=foodconsumer.org) | | | | Grocery list Chicken breast, boneless, skinlessZucchiniRed bell pepperCherry tomatoesOlive oilApple cider vinegarDijon mustard OreganoGarlicParsleySalt and freshly ground black pepperMint leavesFrozen peasCuminLemon juice | | | | You might also like [Grill Smart This Season](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=H%5FG15TX-tvykrXkC1ouQGw&ref=foodconsumer.org) [Cancer-Fighting Summer Travel Tips](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=vw2sh6VBW5iYdXXhkcHWiQ&ref=foodconsumer.org) [Recipe Extra: Mixed Greens with Blueberries and Feta](http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/R?i=2nwiVoBNQE0pdXfXTTEuHQ&ref=foodconsumer.org) | | | | Did You Know?
