Our whole family loved these Kabobs. It was easy using ingredients I had on hand. I doubled the recipe for eight adults and thought we'd have extra but not one kabob was left over.

In response to redhead4101: I was checking the food items for sodium, they are 0 as far as I can tell. But the Italian salad dressing seems to be the culprit for the sodium content. The Italian salad dressing I have shows about 360mg per 2tbsp. Chicken breast (3oz) is about 68 mg sodium. The garlic salt for McCormick brand is about 490mg per serving. I hope this helps.

I am wondering why the sodium is so high on this recipe. If someone could let me know It would be greatly appreciated. I am wanting to make this for my husband but due to sodium levels I am not sure I will be able too. 1 teasp garlic salt should not make it that high. Also I know I can use a lite Italian dressing also. Thanks so much!

Excellent and very easy to make. I used

Mc Cormick Perfect Pinch Garlic and Herb

with the olive oil on the vegetables instead

of the garlic salt and dried rosemary.. The

chicken was very tender.

I made this yesterday for our family Fathers Day get together and got lots of rave reviews. It was very easy to put together and was delicious. I mixed all ingredients into the same bag to marinate and I used mushrooms instead of tomatoes per my own tastes. Thanks!

I changed the veggies a bit, using rainbow peppers instead of zucchini & squash. LOVE IT!

I needed something to go with my blue cheese stuffed vadalia onions and these kabobs were perfect minus the sliced onion, served over brown rice.......

Excellent! I also let the chicken and veggies marinate a little longer. I think the Italian dressing really adds flavor! I served it with brown rice for a wonderfully tasty and healthy dinner. (I may be a little slow, but I thought the prep time was longer than 20 min, more like 40 by the time I skewered everything.)

These were so good and smelled fabulous on the grill. They were bursting with flavor and the chicken was so juicy and tender! I added some minced garlic and lemon juice to the Italian dressing. I let the chicken/veggies marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours before skewering and grilling them instead of just the 15 minutes. I served them with rice pilaf and sourdough rolls-yum!
