Garlic Herb Chicken Skewers

Garlic herb chicken with pita bread

In my last post I promised to show one use of the pita style bread that I had made. Usually I would just cut it open and fill the inside with whatever I am eating, but for this meal, I was a bit more lazy and just put everything on top and folded it over.

I made some garlic and herb marinated chicken, and cooked it under a grill on skewers. It would taste even better on the BBQ, but it was a bit cold for that. Now that the weather is warming up, I will soon have the BBQ out.

   Served with my pita bread

As I said earlier, I was lazy and just folded the bread around the chicken, rather than cutting the bread open and putting the chicken inside.
While I was making these my skewers broke, all of the handles came off.

On a good note, I finally finished my university project, just one small one and the exams left. I should be able to post more, and make more interesting food now, which I would say is a pretty good thing. There will probably be less of my pointless rambling though, as I won't really be doing very much other than cooking.
