Tangy Chicken Skewers

How often do you see something in a magazine and think, "I am going to make that" file it away and never see it again? I know I do it a lot, so that is part of the reason this recipe is so exciting is because I actually followed through, it was delicious and I have made them several times. They are easy to make, but I will warn you the garlic lingers on your breath for a couple of days. Oh well, such is life.
