This is a pretty simple dish that uses ingredients you probably already have at home. Ideal with coffee after dinner or during office potlucks. The whipped cream or ice cream topping is a favorite among my sons. Change it up a bit by using a different kind of cobbler or sliced peaches or cherries in a can.

It’s a great recipe and works well with Cornish Hens!
My whole family adores these. I make as written except I usually need to triple or quadruple the recipe because nobody can stop eating them!
Wow! so delicious! made it pretty much as written. So quick to marinade tender juicy chicken! It’s a must try!
Not a fan. The flavor did not come through.
Delicious!! I’ve made several times and both kids and adults love the flavour. I marinate them for a long time.
Delicious!! No leftovers for family of three. Made as is side of white rice with added lime & chili powder & purple cauliflower since it was fresh here now in Alaska!!
We smoked/grilled these kabobs with hickory wood and they were fantastic! I cooked the chicken with pineapple, bell pepper, and purple onion. I’ll make this again, but I’ll cut back slightly on the spice.
We really liked this recipe. The hint of lime was noticeable yet not over powering. I’ve added it to my favorites!
Great recipe, I doubled it and went through all the kebabs way too fast. Next time I’ll add more spices.
This was outstanding!! I marinated the chicken for 3 hours and it was just beginning to separate from the acidity but still worked nicely on the kabobs. Also, I boiled the leftover marinade and then brushed the kabobs with it when they were nearly finished. Rave reviews from family!! Thanks for the great recipe. Going into the summer rotation!
Very good! Would make again
Wonderful recipe! I didn’t have red wine vinegar, so I used red wine. I can’t imagine it tasting any better. Thank you.
Great low-sodium recipe! I added red onion, red pepper, zucchini and pineapple to the skewers along with the chicken. I also broiled them instead of grilled. Yummy!
Followed the recipe & was amazing! Careful on the cayenne pepper!
Fantastic flavor! I only added chopped cilantro, I might cut the chili powder to half teaspoon. It was a tad hot for me. Fantastic chicken marinade for Mexican meals.
This was GREAT! We added green onions…ate with a side of rice.
Delicious
Everyone I make this for ends up loving it! I marinate it over night and then cook it on the grill.
This marinade was delicious! I’ll definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing!
Great recipe! Made this and marinated both the chicken and veggies (separate). I added some honey to the marinate and slices of jalapeno for a kick.
I used 2 and a half limes. I olive oiled the skewers, not the grill. When we were on the Keto diet, I grilled the chicken with orange, green and red bell peppers and red onion. When we were off Keto, I added the pineapple. Grilled pineapple is such a treat!
