VILE!!!! I marinated the chicken for 1 1/2 hours after I read the reviews. The chicken was mushy and completely fell apart in my mouth. It was the most disgusting feeling and taste. The smell was also awful. I threw everything away. I didnt even try the fruit. I couldn't bear to. I felt like I ate a piece of spoiled chicken. Revolting.

Awful!!! Every one of the reviewers that said the chicken and shrimp taste like chalk when they are marinated for 4-6 hours is absolutely correct. I was embarrassed to serve these to guests. The kabobs are very colorful on the plate, but lack taste. Definitely not worth the trouble to make them. The recipe I printed out goes in the shredder!

My family and I loved this recipe! We substituted peaches for pineapple (we live in GA and the peaches are amazing right now. It turned out soo well! I also used a green pepper along with the red. I marinated the veggies for about an hour. I mixed in the chicken for the last 30 minutes. I tossed the shrimp in the marinade before grilling. It was awesome!
