Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs

{we just got a new grill...ok, so its not new... but it is to us! My father-in-law bestowed his old one that has been sitting in the shed for years... my dear husband spent a few days getting is scraped clean and replaced the burner, added some lava rocks... and now we have a new grill! Immediately we needed to test it out, so we had a BBQ the other day with some of our friends.I ran across this recipe in my blog surfing. Turns out, this recipe came from allrecipes.com. These are easily a new favorite of ours! They cook perfectly, with great taste, and oh so juicy... mmmm... They are super easy too! So without further ado, the first of many (I'm sure) grill recipes we are proud to present!}

{ingredients}

1/2 c. olive oil

1/2 c. ranch dressing {the second time we made these, I ran out of ranch... we only used 1/4 c. and they turned out just fine.}

3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary {1 tsp. of the dried stuff works great! but it can be according to taste.}

2 tsp salt

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp white vinegar

1/4 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste

1 Tbsp white sugar, or to taste (optional) { I put some in. more like a tsp or two.}

5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1 inch cubes {i have yet to use that many... mostly 3 or 4 but there is plenty.}

1 dash of liquid smoke {so this is my own little addition. It just adds a little bit of smoky flavor but it is my secret ingredient}

{directions}

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the ingredients.

2. Let stand for 5 minutes.

3. Place chicken in the bowl, and stir to coat with the marinade.

4. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.{We marinate overnight... it makes them extra tasty!}

5. Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. {B. starts out preheating on high, when you put the chicken on the grill, turn it onto medium.

6. Thread chicken onto skewers and discard marinade.

7. Lightly oil the grill grate.{make sure its greased well, they stick and are difficult to get of otherwise!}

8. Grill skewers for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear. {for us it only take 5-10 minutes... but it depends on the grill.}
