Some Quick Tips to Make Store-bought Yours

What to get:

• Pre-made chicken shish-kabobs (marinated however you like)
• Side items to go with hit (we went with a mushroom risotto today and some veggies)
• Onions
• Fresh limes or lemons (2-3)
• Parmesan cheese

What to do:

1. Preheat your grill.  
2. Meanwhile slice up some onions (long thin slices) and some limes or lemons (whichever you prefer) and place on a plate. 
3. Once your grill is ready, place the chicken on there with some onion slices.  After you've cooked one side, add some squeezed fresh lemon or lime on one side.  When you flip it again, repeat.  You can also add some more punch with some red pepper spices if you like it spicier.  
4. While your chicken is cooking, cook your risotto following the boxed instructions.  To make it yours add some fresh grated parmesan and if you have some fresh cilantro add that when you serve it up.

 Super easy and super tasty!  This is great for a night you don't have a lot of time but want to make it your meal.  Enjoy!
