Try this: Chicken Souvlaki with Cilantro


(image from foodies-magazine.com)
This is a hit in my house, and seems to get better each time I make it.  We love cilantro and just received a few bunches from my Aunt Susie, so I think it's time again for this dish.  I found the recipe in a spring edition of House Beautiful.
