Chicken Kebabs with Nectarine Salsa
Does anyone else wish that nectarines were available for cheep all year round and that apples were seasonal? But maybe then I'd grow tired of nectarines the way it's so easy to grow tired of apples. Anyways, these were amazing. My husband even liked this and he claims he doesn't like avocado or cilantro (he once even claimed he didn't like nectarines - crazy, I know. He knows better now). Good thing I don't cater to his tastes or he would never realize that nectarines mixed with avocados are delicious!
Mix the following together and use to season two chicken breasts cut into kebab sized pieces:
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
Thread chicken and some red onion pieces onto kebab sticks (if using wooden sticks, make sure you soak them for an hour before threading and grilling). Grill kebabs until done.
Nectarine Salsa (the reason this meal was delicious!):
2-3 nectarines, diced
1/2 of a red pepper, diced
1/4 C red onion, diced
A handful of cilantro leaves
1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
1 avocado, diced
A few grinds worth of salt
