    10/27/2021 - Our first time making this recipe was a success! It was very delicious. Instead of using chicken breast, we used chicken tenderloin which required a bit more cleaning before putting on the skewer. We also did not use the scallions/green onion since we evidently forgot to purchase those on our grocery trip. We paired the chicken with steamed green beans and mashed potatoes. Would definitely make this recipe again!
