Authentic Upstate Spiedies. - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 -3 lbs boneless chicken breasts
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    1/4 cup white vinegar or 1/4 cup dry wine
    3 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
    1 tablespoon dried parsley
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
    1 tablespoon mint leaf, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Preparation
    Dice chicken breasts into 1\" cubes.
    Blend the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar or wine, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic salt, crushed mint leaf, salt and pepper in a bowl.
    Add chicken to the marinade, stirring. I like to bag it in zip lock bags (I always make a double batch so I can freeze some).
    This needs to marinate at least 24 hrs in the refrigerator. The acid content of the marinade tenderizes the chicken by \"cooking\" it to a degree.
    Skewer the meat on kabob sticks; grill until firm.
    Serve on sliced Italian bread, and God bless you if you can get Romas from upstate NY or Raliegh NC.
