Ingredients

* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (6 thighs)

Marinade

* 1 tablespoon peach jam
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparations

1. To make marinade, measure peach jam into a small microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 to 15 seconds to liquefy. Add olive oil, lemon juice, Mrs. Dash® herb seasoning and salt. Stir until well blended.
2. Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each thigh into 4 pieces and place in a zip-lock bag.
3. Add 3 tablespoons marinade to chicken pieces. (Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade to use on vegetables). Seal zip-lock bag and refrigerate to marinate.
4. Cut vegetables into even bite-sized pieces for kebabs (zucchini-8 slices, red pepper-16 pieces, onion-varies). Place in a medium bowl and add reserved marinade. Stir to coat vegetable pieces.
