Rosemary Chicken and Summer Squash Brochettes image

Categories     Chicken     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Backyard BBQ     Squash     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, each cut into 6 pieces
3 large pattypan squash, each quartered
4 metal skewers

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Add chicken and squash; toss. Let stand 10 minutes; toss occasionally.
  • Alternate 3 chicken pieces with 3 squash pieces on each skewer. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Grill until chicken is cooked through and squash is just tender, turning often, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose small and tender summer squash. This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly in the foil packets.
  • Slice the squash thinly. This will help them cook through quickly and evenly.
  • Season the chicken and squash with a variety of herbs and spices. This will add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Add some moisture to the foil packets. This can be done with broth, water, or even white wine. This will help to keep the chicken and squash moist and juicy.
  • Seal the foil packets tightly. This will prevent the steam from escaping and ensure that the chicken and squash cook evenly.
  • Cook the foil packets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken and squash from burning.
  • Let the foil packets rest for a few minutes before opening. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken and summer squash packets are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for a casual summer gathering. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time.
