Grilled chicken and sweet pepper kabobs get added flavor from a basic chimichurri sauce. The bold, herbal flavor of this traditional South American sauce goes well with just about anything from steak to vegetables to fish. You can cook this recipe on an outdoor grill if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly and place the peppers in a grill basket so that they don't fall through the cracks. If you have any leftover kabobs, serve them the next day for lunch inside pita bread as sandwiches.
