Herb Grilled Kabobs Food

GRILLED VEGETABLE KABOBS

Steps:

• Prepare 8 to 10 skewers (if using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes).
• Chop the vegetables and garlic and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley and season with Kosher salt, oregano and pepper flakes. Add the olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to combine.
• Set the vegetables aside for 20 minutes while you heat the grill (Or you can marinate them in the fridge for a few hours until you are ready).

GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare marinade. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and mix until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add the cut pieces of chicken, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion to the marinade. Stir gently to coat all of the chicken and vegetables with marinade. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
• Preheat grill. Heat the grill to 400 degrees F for direct grilling.
• Assemble the kabobs. While the grill preheats, assemble your kabobs. This process takes about 15 minutes. Skewer on your chicken, squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions onto the kabobs in a pattern. Repeat until all of the chicken and vegetable pieces have been secured on the sticks. Season on all sides with a light sprinkle of additional salt and pepper before grilling, if desired.
• Grill the chicken kabobs. Place the kabobs directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes before opening the lid and rotating the skewers. Close the lid and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes. Open, check the temperature of the kabobs, and if the internal temperature of the chicken hasn't reached 165 degrees F, rotate them once again, close the lid, and cook until they hit the target temperature.
• Rest and serve. Remove the finished kabobs from the grill and rest for only 1-2 minutes before serving. The pieces are so small, they don't need to rest much longer than this and you want to serve them hot.
