Summertime in Athens

Sunday nights in Athens are our "official" grilling night.  Cooking started this morning with a little prep work for the chicken k-bobs.   


Here's how we make our k-bobs:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 bottle of Italian dressing (Frank likes Wishbone)
2 bell peppers
1 8 oz package of baby bella mushrooms
pineapple spears



Dice the chicken into 1 inch cubes and place in a gallon size plastic bag.  Pour the Italian dressing into the bag an marinate for several hours in the frig.  About an hour before grilling take out the chicken and skewer each k-bob.  Alternate bell pepper, mushroom, and chicken.  *Although he probably wouldn't admit it, Frank is picky about the skewers.  He always tries to start and end with a bell pepper (to keep the chicken from falling off)*

Grill at 250-300 degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.  During the last 5 minutes sear the pineapple.  Cook until it is warm and it has good grill marks.  Dig in!
