Yummy Chicken Kabobs

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive or canola oil (use only half of the oil if you are watching your fat intake.  Add some chicken broth to boost the marinade.)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced  
  • 3/4 teaspoon McCormick dried poultry seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon Goya adobo 
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (added salt not necessary if you used Adobo.  Adobo has salt)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Directions:

In a small bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried spices, red pepper flakes, pepper and salt if desired. Reserve half of marinade for basting; cover.

Cut chicken into 1-in. wide strips; weave on skewers with any vegetable that will hold up to grilling.  I made this recently with red bell pepper, green zucchini, and grape tomatoes.

Place in an 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. glass baking dish. Pour remaining marinade over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Drain, discarding marinade.

Place skewers on grill over medium-low coals. Grill, turning and basting with reserved marinade, for 12 minutes or until juices run clear.

If you don't have a grill, don't fret!  Target sells great indoor grills that fit on the stovetop.  You will get the grill marks you desire and the flavors of a summer cookout. 

Serve with your favorite sides! Happy eating.
