Pollo Moruno With Grilled Vegetables (Spanish Chicken Skewers) image

Easy tapas with lots of flavour! This is a great way to make chicken skewers with veggies! Normally when you put everything on the skewers raw, the veggies are way overcooked by the time the chicken is cooked through. Don't let the ingredients fool you - they are pantry staples. Please note the 3 hour marinating time. This delicious recipe is courtesy of Michell Perez. Enjoy!
