1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in large bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, chopped in large pieces
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water

Steps:

Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Marie's Original Coleslaw dressing, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
