Chicken Marinade

A few days ago some of my closest friends came to visit for a few days.  It was perfect! We relaxed and spent some much needed time catching up with one another. I always like to prepare meals that don't require too much preparation while I have company here so I decided on chicken and vegetable kabobs and roasted potatoes.  I cut everything up ahead of time and marinated the chicken all day.  Since I'm not much of a meal planner I've never really had time to marinate chicken before. Game changer! The chicken turned out great. Enjoy!
