Original

All foods are better on a stick. Skewers are an easy way to make dinner more festive and fun. The combination of chicken, zucchini, and red peppers are a colorful and healthy combination for easy weeknight cooking. For extra flavor, we use our creamy and herbaceous avocado chimichurri again over our simple skewers.
