1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Recipe

Combine all ingredients.
Chicken Kabobs: Cut 2 pounds skinned and boned chicken breast halves into 1-inch cubes. Place chicken pieces and Zesty Chicken Marinade in a large freezer bag. Seal; chill 8 hours. (Or freeze; thaw before grilling.) Soak 8 (8-inch) wooden skewers 30 minutes to prevent burning. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving 1/4-inch space between pieces. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until done. Serve on pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and hot sauce.

Yield: Makes about 1/2 cup (enough for 4 chicken breast halves)
