This is a great summertime picnic food. It’s a great dish that will have folks begging for the recipe. These kabobs were perfected for picnics at outdoor concerts in Ravinia Park just outside Chicago. They were a hit, especially when paired with a chilled Pinot Grigio.

Under chicken+ easy grilling recipes
This is the recipe that my friends and family beg me to make when the grill is brought out. It’s so easy and versatile, and can be tried on several different meats. I like it with scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes or rice pilaf. Try it with cilantro or oregano instead of parsley. Save leftovers for salad the next day.
