My version of the Middle Eastern Kabab features strong flavors, but the avocado sauce will be the perfect complement to mellow them out. While Zatar may not be easy to find, you can replace it with your own combo of dried herbs, like oregano, thyme, parsley, sesame seeds etc. Beef, pork and seafood would be great for this recipe as well.

4 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 green pepper, cut into cubes
1 red onion, cut into eighths
