Recipe Introduction

NOTES : Bite-sized chunks of marinated chicken are grilled on skewers, then served with a spicy relish made from cucumbers, garlic, and chile. The chicken, a healthy, low-fat alternative to beef kabobs, absorbs the lime juice marinade well. Both the chicken and the relish can be prepared ahead, and the meat grilled right before serving. Be sure to use rubber gloves to protect skin while preparing the fresh chile.
