GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS
Juicy tender chicken brushed with a mouthwatering sauce, skewered, and grilled to perfection!!
Without a doubt, this is a must-make chicken recipe you won’t soon forget. With plenty of lemon juice, silky olive oil and bright veggies, this simple marinade infuses all your favorite chicken pieces with the intense basic flavors you'll love. You can use this marinade to make grilled chicken skewers with onions and peppers, or grill whole boneless breasts and thighs. My favorite way to eat it though is on a skewer along with vegetables. You can choose your favorite vegetables, I usually use: red onion, assorted bell peppers and sometimes even zucchini.
Make this Grilled Chicken Recipe part of your next dinner party and enjoy compliments from all your happy guests! For starters, you can also make Hummus Dip and serve with homemade pita chips made from our Whole Wheat Pita. A crispy and fresh Salad is always a welcome addition to any meal.
Cut the bell peppers and red onion into squares, slice the zucchini into 1/4 inch slices (if using). The whole veggies get perfectly charred and soft when grilled with the chicken and are for sure my favorite part of the skewer.
After cutting the chicken I just put a little olive oil, salt & pepper, lemon juice and zest and toss it around to coat. Because the star of this show is the sweet chilli pineapple sauce that you will brush on the skewers as they are finishing of on the grill.
Now comes the skewering!
When skewering the chicken, you can follow any order you would like. If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them prior to skewering to avoid them burning on the grill. I recommend not putting the zucchini on the outside, because they tend to easily fall off the skewer when cooking due to the water releasing and them shrinking a bit. I also double up the onion pieces since they are thin.
Place the skewers on a medium/high heat grill and grill until they are nicely seared. Lower the heat and rotate them every so often with tongs so that each side gets evenly cooked. Brush with the chilli pineapple sauce and remove from then grill into the platter.
Once done, you’re left with beautifully charred, juicy, tender meat! Enjoy
