Marinated Chipotle Chicken Skewers
This is one of our favorite quick dinners because it’s delicious chunks of chicken on skewers you just pop into the oven and serve with some rice and veggies (we love to eat these with the Cuban Black Beans.) It’s a healthy, sorta-fancy everyday dinner that’s quick too.
