- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Maries Original Coleslaw Dressing, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Alternate pieces of chicken and onion on each skewer, then place skewers in a shallow baking dish.
- Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken skewers, coating them well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Prepare the slaw: In a large bowl, stir together the cabbage, onion, parsley, and Maries Original Coleslaw Dressing until thoroughly combined.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an extra kick of spice, if you like.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the grates with a little oil to coat and grill the marinated chicken skewers.
- Turn skewers occasionally until chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with warm pita bread, slaw, sliced tomatoes, and extra Maries Original Coleslaw Dressing for drizzling.
