Grilled 5 spice chicken & plum kabobs

Chicken second courses

Grill

The variety of plums at our local farmers market were just amazing....red, purple and gold, all in abundance. After having my fill of eating them fresh I needed to come up with a plan for dinner. I created a slightly sweet marinade for the chicken using one of my favorite spices- 5 spice powder. I reserved some of the marinade to baste both the chicken and plums while they were grilling. The sweet & tart plums pair beautifully with the marinade and become caramelized when grilled. Use one color of plum or alternate several. If you are so lucky to have any leftovers, they make a wonderful salad. Arrange cut-up pieces of the chicken and plums over mixed greens along with a chopped cucumber. Toss with a miso-honey vinaigrette and enjoy.
