By Soni Sinha
Grilled foods cannot be complete without some juicy, moist kebabs.For our weekend barbecue I made Chicken Kebabs with my Spinach Pecan Pesto and it was delicious. Spinach and Chicken go very well together and with the garlic and parmesan there are some great flavors going on in these kebabs.You can use your own favorite pesto for this recipe. I just happened to have some fresh spinach waiting to be used and always have pecans on hand.
