Savory Apricot Chicken Kabobs

• 1 c. white wine or chicken broth
• ¼ c lemon juice
• 3 T olive oil
• 2 T white wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-1/2 t fresh rosemary
• 1-1/2 t fresh thyme
• ½ t lemon zest
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6-oz pkg Sun-Maid California Apricots
• ¼ t salt
• 1 red or green pepper, cut in 1-in squares
• ½ red onion, cut in 1-in squares

In a large bowl, blend together wine or broth, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, herbs and lemon zest.  Divide in half and place in 2 large plastic zipper bags.  Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 4 strips to make a total of 16 strips.  Place chicken in one plastic zipper bag and apricots in the other.  Seal and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning occasionally.  Drain chicken and apricots; discard marinade.  Sprinkle salt on chicken.  Thread 8 skewers in the following order: one pepper, one onion, one chicken strip in a loosely wrapped “s” fashion around 2 apricot halves.  Repeat, ending up with one pepper and one onion.  Grill or broil, 5 inches from heat, for 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning every 2 to 3 minutes.  Makes 4 servings.
