Chicken Kabobs with Lemon and Thyme
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small shallot, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
2 lemons, each cut into 4 wedges
Directions:
- In medium nonreactive bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Place in large, heavy-duty sealable plastic food-storage bag.
- Using a fork, pierce each chicken breast all over several times to help the marinade penetrate.
- Cut each chicken breast into 8 large equally sized chunks.
- Put the marinade mixture in the plastic bag; add the chicken, seal the bag, and move the pieces around to coat them thoroughly.
- Put the bag in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill.
- Meanwhile, thread the chicken chunks onto 8 skewers, including a lemon wedge in the middle of each skewer.
- Grill the kabobs until the chicken is nicely brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes, turning the kabobs once. Serve on a bed of Wolfgang's Couscous Salad.
