Garlic Lemon Chicken Kabobs
Posted on | May 6, 2012 | 10 Comments
This chicken turns out really tender, juicy, and flavourful; absolutely delicious… I love the combination of lemon, garlic, and cilantro with chicken. With grilling season starting for us, I know I will be making this recipe a lot this year. It doesn’t require a lot of work but the result is amazing…
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- zest of one organic lemon
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley
- salt, pepper
Directions
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and cilantro or parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl. Toss the chicken to coat it with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the chicken marinade for several hours (up to 8 hours).
Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Presoak the skewers in water for about 20 minutes if wooden ones are used.
Then grill the kabobs on the barbeque, turning once or twice until the meat is cooked.
Guten Appetit!

You know what? I’m the pickiest eater ever and I rarely find real food recipes on blogs that I want to make. And first there was that lemony pork loin stuff (still on my list!) and now this. Yay!
And I’m with you and the other Erin – I’m happy it’s grilling season!
