To make these vegetarian, sub 14 oz extra firm tofu for the chicken. Press out liquid and cube. Proceed with same directions as above (does not change PointsPlus value). Or marinate 7 oz tofu and 8 oz chicken in separate dishes and make only some of the kebabs vegetarian.If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before use to prevent them from burning.
