Ingredients
1/2 cup lemon juice1/2 cup honey6 green onions sliced thinly3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (wear gloves)3 teaspoons dreid thyme1/4 teaspoon allspice1/4 teaspoon nutmet1 teaspoon brown sugar6 boneless, skinless,chicken breasts, cut in pieces1 red onion scut in 1/2s and then pulled apart1 green zucchini sliced 1/4 inch thick1 yellow squash sliced 1/4 inch thickred grape tomatoes
Directions
Place the first nine ingredients in a blender, cover and process until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup into a smal bowl for basting. Cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add cut up chicken and veggies, seal bag and turn to coat, refrigerate up to 6 hours or overnight. Let bag come to room temperature before you grill. Drain and discard marinade. Skewer chicken and vegetables alternating. Coat grill rack with non stick spray. Grill kabobs, covered over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting frequently with reserved marinade. I like to serve this with a just a salad or brown rice. The calories are incorrect as I forgot to include this is 6 servings and not one which comes out to 189 calories, however, I've tried editing this recipe and it won't save it. :)

    Very good flavor! I also added green and red bell pepper. I could do without the 6 hour or overnight preparation marinade part. Would be five stars if less time prep. - 3/25/09

    I realize the calorie content is incorrect. I have tried many times to edit and change but it will not save it. There is only 169 calories a serving. I entered 1 serving instead of 6-8. I am so sorry! :(

    The recipe is wonderful! In place of brown sugar I used pure maple syrup. Thank you for sharing! - 2/15/09
