Chicken Kabobs & Veggie Quinoa Salad



This dinner is seriously so delicious!!! It is also very healthy and calorie friendly :) I came across the idea on Pinterest and decided to tweak it to make it a little more south of the border :) I love spice! 
It FINALLY has been a beautiful day here in San Antonio so I told Brandon that we were lighting the gill and eating on the back porch! This dinner is so easy you will love making it all summer long :)

Shopping List

Three boneless skinless chicken breasts ( cubed into larger chunks)
one pineapple cut into chunks ( you can buy it pre chunked at the store)
one purple onion quartered and chunked
salt/pepper
olive oil
cumin
cayenne
lime juice
chopped cilantro
garlic salt


Quinoa salad:

one cup uncooked quinoa
two cups boiling water
veggies of choice ( I chose bell peppers, onions, and black beans)
avocado for topping

Procedure

Start by chunking your chicken and placing in a contained bowl. 
Add a generous amount of olive oil and the rest of the seasonings..chop the cilantro and mix that in as well. Mix all together and place saran wrap over the top and pop in the fridge for an hour.

Meanwhile ....

If your pineapple is not already cored and chunked do so now. 
Start by boiling your water and adding your quinoa. Pop in the onion , beans, and other veggies and cook until directions say done ( I always cook my quinioa in chicken stock because I find that it adds a nice flavor..I also pop a few gluts of olive oil in the pot too!!!)

Light up the grill!!!!

While the grill is heating start to assemble your Kabobs.
Start with the Chicken, then add the onion. and pineapple. repeat until all used up.
grill until finished. I Love to sweep a little bit of Robert Rothschild's Pineapple/Habenero sauce once the chicken are finished grilling.
Simply amazing!!!!!!!








Once the quinoa is done, serve it warm next to the kabobs!! Add a fun salad and dinner is set!!!!
