Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs

Of all the dinners I've mentioned in Menu Plan Mondays, this was the most requested recipe. So, I finally took the time to get my ingredients figured out. A few notes, I prefer teriyaki, but use soy sauce if I'm out. I also use fresh garlic and ginger, but you can substitute powdered garlic and ginger. This serves 4, approximately 2 skewers per person.
