Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken boneless skinless breasts or thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon each of sea salt and pepper
- 3 lemons cut and quartered
- Variety of vegetables, zucchini, squash, carrots, peppers, pineapple, or mushrooms.
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 8-10 wooden skewers
- Aluminum foil
- Apple wood smoke chips
Preparation:
Soak your skewers in a mixture of lemon juice, water and sea salt. This will help keep them from burning during the grilling process and help give flavor to the food on it. Wash and clean the chicken before dicing into kabob cubes. Mix the olive oil, garlic and seasonings.
Clean the veggies removing any wilted areas, seeds or poor quality foods before threading them on the skewers. Alternate the meat and veggies to create a colorful and appetizing kabob for the grill. Squeeze the lemons over the food.
Follow this by brushing each kabob with the olive oil herbal mixture. Roll these up in the aluminum foil and place directly over the warm center of the grill.
