Another great summer-time grilled chicken recipe courtesy of CookingLight.com.

Yield
8 servings (serving size: 2 kebabs)

Ingredients
1  cup  Pomegranate-Orange Dressing, divided
2  pounds  skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2  large oranges
1/4  teaspoon  salt
1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
1/4  cup  chopped fresh mint

Preparation
Combine 1/2 cup Pomegranate-Orange Dressing and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Cut each orange into 8 wedges; cut each wedge crosswise into 3 pieces.

Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken and orange pieces alternately onto each of 16 (10-inch) skewers. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place kebabs on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is done, basting occasionally with remaining 1/2 cup Pomegranate-Orange Dressing. Place kebabs on a platter; sprinkle with mint.
