GRILLED PESTO CHICKEN KABOBS

Pesto can sometimes be overpowering, but not in this recipe! Using it in a marinade adds the wonderful flavors of basil and garlic, without taking away from the natural flavors of the chicken and vegetables.

  • Thread marinated chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, and tomatoes alternately onto skewers. Reserve remaining marinade.
  • Place kabobs onto the preheated grill, and cook, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Quarter the onion, and separate the layers. Put in a large ziploc or tupperware.
  • Take out the "guts" from the pepper, and chop into 1" pieces. Put these in the same container as the onion.
  • Remove any fat from the chicken and cut into 1-1.5" pieces. Throw in with the veggies. Drop in the pesto sauce and shake well to coat everything.
  • Skewer the onion, pepper, chicken and tomatoes. Grill or Broil the kabobs for about 4 minutes per side.
