I just tried this recipe from my new Weber's Way to Grill book -- it turned out really good! It's a great quick recipe, as it can marinate for as little as 30 minutes, but still looks impressive. I've published this recipe in the minimum, so it can be used for 1 or 2 servings and easily increased for more. Preparation time includes minimum marinating time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 skewers, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 large onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (I use bottled)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut into pieces
2 -5 skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Combine onion, lemon juice, oregano, paprika and garlic and puree in a small food processor blender.
  • Add olive oil and process until well mixed.
  • Combine chicken and marinade in a resealable plastic bag or other container so that chicken is completely covered (I just put it in a bowl and toss it periodically). Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, but longer is ok, too. Remember, because the marinade has oil in it, the oil will rise to the top so you may have to keep stirring it if you want to let it sit longer.
  • Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and grill on direct medium heat for approximately 8 minutes per side, depending on preference and grill heat. I usually have my grill up to high, so the chicken only takes about 12 minutes total.

This recipe is a family favorite. We make it every summer and it's always a hit. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the marinade is delicious.

I love this recipe! The chicken is always so moist and flavorful. I usually serve it with rice and a side of grilled vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken kabobs, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the marinade was flavorful without being overpowering. I would definitely make this again.

Not a fan. The chicken was dry and the marinade was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Great recipe for a weeknight meal. I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, and it still turned out great. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added some chopped onion and garlic to the marinade. I also grilled the kabobs i

Easy and delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the allotted time. The marinade was also very flavorful. I served the kabobs with rice and a side of tzatziki sauce.

Fantastic recipe! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. I marinated it for 24 hours, which I think really made a difference. I also used a mix of red and green bell peppers, which added a nice pop of color. Will definitely be making this again!
