Chicken Skewers with Cabbage Slaw

For the chicken skewers:
Combine all ingredients for the marinade (garlic through salt) in a large bowl and add meat. Toss to make sure it is evenly coated in marinade. Transfer to a zip lock bag, put the bag into a dish and put it into the refrigerator. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for best results 6 hours to overnight.

Preheat grill to 400 F (medium-high heat ), clean and lightly oil the grate.

Thread chicken on the skewers and grill for 5 minutes per side, or until done. Remove to a clean platter.

For the cabbage slaw:
In a large bowl combine cabbage, carrots and cucumber (optional).

In a separate bowl mix together salt, oil and vinegar. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss. Taste and add more salt, oil or vinegar if needed. Add fresh parsley (optional). Serve.
