Ingredients

For the kabobs:

1 lb boneless chicken breasts
6 fresh peaches rinsed and sliced into large cubes (leave skin on)
1 large sweet onion sliced into large chunks
6-8 wooden skewers soaked in water
cooking spray for the grill

For the marinade:

⅓ cup white balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large peach peeled, pitted and pureed
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions

To make the marinade:

Whisk vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved
Whisk in oil until blended
Stir in fresh peach puree and basil
Set aside

For the kabobs:

Before you begin, soak the wooden skewers in water
This helps keep them from burning while cooking
Some say soak, others say don't bother, I say do what you think is best. I soak my skewers.
Cut chicken breasts into 2-3" cubes
Cut onion into 2-3" pieces
Pour vinaigrette over the top, cover and refrigerate for several hours
Cut peaches into chunks big enough to skewer
Assemble kabobs by layering onion, peaches and chicken on the skewers
Preheat grill to about 375 degrees and spray with non-stick spray
Cook kabobs on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning several times, until done
