Grilled Sweet Plum Chicken Kabobs

Grilled chicken recipes are always fun to make and these sticky sweet kabobs are sure to delight everyone. The combination of flavors in these kabobs makes them extra special and the plum complements the chicken flavor.

You might have combined chicken with plum in international recipes or in gourmet smoked chicken recipes and it goes just as nicely in this chicken kabob recipe. If you don't have twelve inch skewers you can use six inch skewers instead and just use double the amount. If you are going to use bamboo skewers don't forget to soak them in water for half an hour beforehand unless you want them to catch fire!

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons white vinegar
½ yellow bell pepper in 1 inch squares
½ green bell pepper in 1 inch squares
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Thread the chicken, bell pepper and plum pieces alternately on 6 metal skewers which are 12 inches long.

Leave a small space between each piece.

Cover and grill the chicken kabobs 5 inches from medium coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them and brushing with marinade a few times, until the chicken is cooked through.
