It's now summer where I live. I have spent more time in the garden then in the kitchen. We tend to eat leaner meals at this time of year and this is a great way to enjoy chicken on the barbecue, without drying it out.
Chicken Shish Kebabs are easy to make and a great idea for a backyard barbecue.
You will need to make the marinate, I have posted the link:Sund-dried Tomato and Roasted Garlic Marinate
When you barbecue, metal skewers are best to use. You can use the wooden ones, soak and oil them first, but the metal skewers are far more durable and the ingredients will slide off the surface easier.
Chicken Shish Kebabs
Ingredient List1 Large Chicken Breast
Vegetables
All Roughly Chopped 1" Diameter
1/2 Green Bell Pepper
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Small Yellow Onion1/2 Mid Sized Zucchini
Cube the Chicken Breast, you would like at least 4 Pieces of Chicken per Skewer
1" cubes are preferable if you can.
Marinate the Cubed Chicken Meat for at least an hour in the refrigerator.Hint: As a short cut, you can use them right away, but the flavours will not be as strong in the meat.
Cooking time minutes 20 to 25 at 350 F
Pre-heat your Barbecue and ensure it is at temperature.
Turn the skewer 1/4 way every 5 minutes.
Close the Barbecue's lid, or if it does not have one, cover with Aluminum Foil to help to retain the heat. (shiny side down!)
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.
Served with Rice and a Kefir Lemon Dip:
Kefir Lemon Dip1/4 Cup Kefir (May be Substituted with Yogurt)
Lemon Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1/4 TSP Basil
1/4 TSP Dill
The Kebabs themselves are exceptionally easy to create, you can add or subtract a world of fruits, vegetables and meat. Be playful and experiment with meat like Pork Or Lamb. Add Pine apple, Apple and other fruits too. I will update this post with any "revolutionary" Kebabs I make, but I hope you get the idea.As a Hint, use tender meats such as Tenderloin cuts should be used when creatig Kebabs. You do not want a chewy meal.
As an aside, all of the Infused Oils I make are readily useable for Marinating and grilling with, so I won't be posting too many more Infused Oil recipes unless it's specific to a recipe I am creating. You can make minor adjustments to the ingredients as you wish, to create the flavours you are after.
Please enjoy!
