Smoky, seasoned grilled chicken makes a wonderful contrast with sweet, juicy grapes. Instead of 8-inch skewers, shorter wooden skewers could be used for smaller portions. Just remember to soak the skewers in water at least 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning them.

Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 32 large red seedless grapes
MARINADE
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Spanish sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Add the chicken, stirring to coat well. Marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
