Chicken Kabobs

Brine
4 chicken breasts
1 quart warm water
1/4 c. kosher salt

In a large bowl, stir the salt in warm water until disolved.  Add the chicken breasts and let them sit in the brine for 15 minutes.  Or, cover the bowl and put them in the fridge for up to 6 hours.    Remove the chicken, rinse it and pat it dry.

Seasoning
1 t. kosher salt,
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder

Combine all in a bowl.
