Sizzling Skewers – Italian Style
So, I may be going a little silly with skewers lately, but I can’t help myself! What is better then food on a stick? Oh, yeah, I know, grilling it up for your friends and family who gobble it all up! These kebabs are made with just the right amount of summer flavors and lot of of Italian influence.
1 and a half pounds chicken breast, cubed 1 large red onion, cut into cubed wedges 1 large red pepper, cut into squares 1 Large zucchini, cut in to 1/2 inch rounds about 15-20 cherry tomatoes 3 Tablespoons Cucina Aurora Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Infused Olive Oil Juice from 1 Lemon 3 cloves garlic, minced Chopped fresh Basil to taste 1/4 cup white wine (optional) 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar Chopped fresh parsley to taste Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium bowl mix olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, basil, white wine, parsley, salt and pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are combined. Separate one third of the mixture and toss chopped vegetables in it. Cover and let sit in refrigerator an hour or overnight. Place cut up chicken in an air tight container and coat with the remaining mixture. Marinate at least one hour or overnight. When ready to cook, heat grill to medium heat. Skewer chicken and veggies in whatever order you think looks pretty and place skewers directly on hot grill. Drizzle with any remaining marinade. Grill until chicken is cooked through and veggies are slightly charred. ENJOY!
