LEMON CHICKEN KABOBS

From Canadian Living's The Barbecue Collection cookbook, I am saving this here because it is so simple and so tasty. I used a bit more garlic than called for, marinated the chicken for about 6 hours and used sweet green peppers. Delicious! Left-overs are great served hot or cold, on a salad or on their own. Please note: Minimum marinating time is included in prep time.

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 sweet green peppers or 2 banana peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Mix together oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; toss with chicken until coated. Marinate refrigerated for 15 minutes or up to one day.
  • Thread chicken and pepper onto skewers.
  • Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until chicken is browned and no longer pink inside, about 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken remains juicy and tender, select boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the kebabs.
  • Use wooden skewers instead of metal ones, as metal can conduct heat and cause the chicken to overcook.
  • Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning.
  • Marinate the chicken in the lemon-garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the kebabs in a grill pan or on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or pita bread.

Conclusion:

Lemon-Garlic Chicken Kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of lemon, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or pita bread, and enjoy a tasty and satisfying meal.
