Garlic Lemon Chicken Kebabs

Garlic Lemon Chicken Kebabs

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbs. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more,
    to taste
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut
    into 3/4-inch pieces
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch
    chunks

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together the 3 Tbs. olive oil, the lemon zest, garlic, parsley, the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper. Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.

Soak a cedar plank in water according to the package instructions. Prepare a medium fire in a grill and heat the plank. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover for at least 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Thread the onion and bell pepper onto the skewers, alternating the pieces and dividing them equally. Remove the chicken from the marinade; discard the marinade. Thread the chicken onto separate skewers, taking care not to pack the pieces too tightly.

Lay the skewers on the plank. Brush the vegetables with the olive oil-lemon juice mixture. Close the lid and cook until the chicken is opaque throughout and the vegetables are soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a warmed platter and serve immediately. Serves 2.

Lemon and Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken

Lemon and Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken

Lemon and yogurt have been used as a marinade for grilled chicken recipes for centuries. This grilled chicken recipe is very simple and the yogurt marinade keeps the chicken tender and moist. The marinade also adds a subtly tangy, and delicious flavor.

Makes 4 Portions of Lemon and Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (any plain yogurt will work)
1 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp dried Italian herb blend
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large chicken, cut into sections

Preparation:

Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl and add the chicken pieces. Toss very well to completely coat the chicken with the yogurt marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.

Preheat grill. Remove chicken from the marinade, wiping off any excess. Season with additional salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, if desired. Brush hot grates lightly with oil, and grill over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through.

1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional toppings of your choice

On a floured surface, roll your pizza dough out into a large rectangle. Top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut the dough into long strips, then into squares, so you end up with about 20 squares. Stack the squares onto of each other, and stack into a greased loaf pan. (For pictures of this technique, check out how I did it with this cinnamon pull-apart bread).
