Grilled or oven baked kabobs are an absolute favorite of mine since I was little. My mom would make kabobs with chicken and vegetables and grill. These harissa chicken kabobs are sweet and spicy and perfect for a delicious dinner idea or make ahead meal prep for the week. The creamy sweet potato hummus helps calm the spicy heat of the harissa and pickled onions give a crunchy bite. Roasted zucchini is a perfect and healthy side dish.
