Lemon Chicken & Asparagus Kabobs

If you follow David on Instagram (@SelfiesofDavid) you know he is the incredible chef in the family! And with summer being here we are for sure taking advantage of the grill! David found this recipe inspiration in an issue of Southern Living...gotta start getting into the South Carolina pirit!! I was amazed at the fresh citrus flavor in this dish and I even loved the asparagus. Amazing for a non-veggie fan!

Tip:
