Marinated Chicken Kabobs with Baked Sweet Potatoes

       This is an easy recipe that is great for hot days because you can make it outside on the grill so you're not heating up the house.  However, it is just as easy to make them on a griddle inside.  You can also substitute regular baked potatoes for the sweet potatoes but if you haven't tried baked sweet potatoes, you are missing out!
