Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts into small, bite sized pieces, about 1 1/2 inches. Place chicken breast pieces in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper, basil, oregano, and salt. Shake it a bit so all the chicken tenders get covered.
  • Let marinate in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Thread your chicken pieces onto skewers, metal or wooden. If using wooden, be sure to soak them in water during the marinating time so they don't burn on the grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat.
  • Grill your chicken on a well oiled grate, about ten minutes, until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, flipping every few minutes so that all sides receive grill marks. Serve immediately.

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.
