Summer, in all its hot and humid glory (at least here in the south), is one of my favorite seasons! So, I don’t mean to rush through it. Not even on those days when I’m sweating like Niagara Falls after walking the 20 steps down to my car from my condo! Nope, I’m not rushing through summer at all!
But, I cannot help dreaming of fall with its crisper and cooler days! For my daughter and I, those crisper and cooler days mean apple season!
Most years, fall has us driving to at least one of several apple orchards to eat our weight in apples, pick delicious apples, and indulge in apple juices, apple sauces, and apple pies while reveling in the beginning of sweater season!
And, speaking of apple season, let’s talk about today’s recipe.
For today’s recipe of Oven baked Tomato Apple Cider Vinegar Chicken Kabobs and Maple Apple Cider Vinegar Cabbage Slaw, I used Apple Cider Vinegar. This dish, like most dishes on here, is so easy to make.

First off, I roasted some smoked paprika, coriander and chili powder together for just a couple of minutes, over medium heat. My mom often roasts her spices and that small, quick step so enhances the flavors of those spices that I’ve started doing it too.
Then, I added the roasted spices to some lightly caramelized onion, garlic, tomato paste, honey, tomatoes, and some Apple Cider Vinegar, mixed it all up, and blitzed it with a handheld mixer.
I then slathered the resulting spicy, savory, sweet sauce over some chicken pieces before skewering them and baking them.
My daughter and I enjoyed these Oven baked Chicken Kabobs slathered with that zesty Tomato Apple Cider Vinegar BBQ Sauce served over a Cabbage Slaw that had been tossed with a Maple Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing. Now, you don’t have to use chicken.
You can sub in tofu, and that zesty Tomato Apple Cider Vinegar BBQ Sauce will perk it right up. This is a delicious yet light meal we thoroughly enjoyed and I hope you will do so as well.

Those North Coast products sound great. I’d like to try out that traditional apple sauce. I’d also really like to try out your Maple Apple Cider Vingar Slaw. Yum! I might have to substitute the apple vingegar with a brand I can get here in the U.K. but everything else I’m good to go. I’m intrigued as to what coleslaw tastes like with maple syrup in it. Yum yum!
I love the colors in this dish, just beautiful. and the spices and flavors in that sauce! I love a good four seasons too but this summer seemed to start in March so I’m ready for fall. 🙂
This recipe is bursting with color and flavor. I also like how I can use different proteins to mix things up.
These look delicious and perfect on the BBQ. The sauce sounds incredible.
Now these kabobs look just perfect. Wish they were on my table this very minute as I am starving!
These are perfect for the labor day weekend and I just love the bbq style here for those skewers delicious!
This was soooo good! The only thing different no oil or broth and I decided to add half of a packet of dry zesty italian dressing. Would definitely make again. Thanks so much! gluten free diet

Love how ACV really kicks up the flavor in the sauce! It has so many great health benefits too!
Oh, I remember those hot Athens days quite well! Heck, we’ve had similar weather a bit up here this year…seriously! But like you and Lil Shashi, we are totally looking forward to Fall. And this sounds like an excellent Fall recipe! I love BBQ chicken, and everything is better in kabob form! I like the idea that North Coast’s apple cider vinegar is unfiltered. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in our stores…and I bet Robbie would love their apple sauce, too! That kid is an apple sauce hound. 🙂
