Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs – Bariatric Recipes

When I get excited about something, I tend to make big statements. You might know someone like this. You might be this person.

Example: This Kebab is so amazing. Kebabs are so beautiful. It’s official…I declare this to be the beginning of the Summer of Kebabs!!!! 

I’ve been this person long enough to know that while sometimes I will stay committed to my big statement, many other times it fizzles.

So now we all have a cliff hanger. Will Summer 2014 truly be my “Summer of Kebabs?” Only time will tell….

I love the moisture the marinate locks into the chicken breasts. Because you end up throwing so much marinade out, we don’t have to worry about how much sugar is in the teriyaki. It’s a minimal amount on our chicken when all is said and done!
