Chicken Kebobs & Veggies

A twist on your typical chicken and veggies dinner! The veggies in this dish are extra special with the addition of Brussels sprouts giving all the B vitamins, even the little guys like thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin (aka B1, B2, and B3). Your immune system also gets a boost through the garlic (anti-inflammatory goodness) and sweet potatoes (vitamin A).
