Recipe for Grilled Chicken and Veggie Kabobs with Garlic and Basil

Easy-to-make and delicious Grilled Chicken and Veggie Kabobs with Garlic and Basil

(Updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, July 2013.  These favorite Grilled Chicken and Veggie Kabobs with Garlic and Basil are reminiscent of ones I made often when I catered houseboat trips on Lake Powell in Southern Utah, and kabobs were always a hit on the houseboat.  They're made with a flavorful marinade using dried herbs and other ingredients you probably always have on hand.  Kabobs aren't really that difficult, but it's important to cut the food in same-size pieces so it will cook evenly. The other thing that can be tricky is putting the ingredients on the skewers tightly enough that food doesn't "spin" around when you turn the kabobs on the grill. If you're lucky enough to have Double Kabob Skewers like I do, that eliminates the problem of spinning.  I think this is perfect for an inexpensive summer dinner that's sure to impress; hope you enjoy!
