ORIENTAL-HONEY CHICKEN KABOBS

Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless-skinless chicken breasts,
cut into 1to 2-inch pieces
1 cup zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
1 cup yellow squash, cut into 1-inch slices
1 cup fresh mushrooms, whole
1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole
1 cup red, yellow and/;or green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsely, chopped

Directions:
1 Clean and cut chicken into bite-size pieces, (approx. 1½ inches), then place into a large plastic bag. Place zucchini, squash, mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers into another large plastic bag.

2 Combine together soy, sherry, honey, oil and garlic. Pour half the mixture over the chicken and the other half over the vegetables. Seal bags securely; turning to coat well and refrigerate allowing to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

3 Soak 8 (10-12-inch) skewers in water for 20 minutes, (this allows for easy threading). Preheat pre-sprayed broiler or grill to a medium-high heat.

4 Drain chicken and vegetables, reserve marinade for basting. Alternately thread chicken, vegetables and onions on skewers.

5 Place skewers on rack of broiler pan or preheated grill. Brush with half of the reserved marinade. Broil or grill 5 to 6 inches from heat for 5-6 minutes. Turn kabobs over then brush with remaining marinade and broil another 5-6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
