Chicken kebabs with fresh tomato sauce

As the chicken breasts (supremes) are marinated with lemon juice, they have a sharpish taste that is complemented by the simple fresh tomato sauce.  These kebabs can be served as a tapas dish, as a starter or even as a main course.  They are particularly good when they have been cooked on a barbecue.
