8:45:00 AMChicken Breasts,Italian Sausage and Sweet Pepper Skewers
The sausages in this great summer barbecue dish complement the chicken breasts and colorful vegetables.I usually serve this over rice.
I use wooden skewers rather than metal because food sticks to the wood and doesn't slip when turned.To prevent charring soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using.
