Chicken Kabobs With Grilled Green Onions

I did not use the skewers or the green onions. The flavor is fabulous. I want to try this at the cabin.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound chicken tenders, cut in half
1 bunch green onions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, teriyaki sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Add chicken; seal bag, and chill for 30 minutes. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Spray grill rack with nonstick nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers. Arrange skewers on grill, and grill for 3 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Grill onions for 1 minutes one ach side or until browned. Arrange green onion on a serving platter. Top with chicken. Serve immediately.

Scallion Sweet Potatoes

I really enjoyed this dish. I used crushed garlic and parsley. I cooked it in the oven. My husband is not a yam or squash person, so he had to add brown sugar to his.

Combine 1 1/2 pounds chopped peeled sweet potatoes, 1 bunch scallions (cut into 2-inch pieces), 6 crushed garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme in a bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss. Place on a sheet of foil and fold up. Grill over low heat until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
