Lemon and Garlic Chicken Kabobs

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This dish serves up nicely as a hot or cold item. I had mine warm for dinner and then for lunch they were great cold. They travel well, too.

Serving Size: Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 6 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
• olive oil spray
• zest of 2 medium lemons
• 3 tsp of garlic powder
• 1-1/2 tsp of minced, dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp of grated sea salt or to taste
• ½ tsp of ground pepper
• your favorite meat rub (optional)

Instructions:

Cut the chicken breast pieces into one inch cubes.

In a bowl put in the lemon zest, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix them up. Then add the chicken and toss by hand. Set in your refrigerator (covered) to marinade for 2 – 6 hours.

Preheat your grill to medium.

Thread the pieces of chicken onto skewers. Spray with olive oil spray on all sides. Spray the grill top, too.

Now you have a choice to make. These are delightful with just the lemon and other flavors. You can also dust them with your favorite meat rub. When I did these I gave my guests choices of Cajun, tarragon (for French) steak rub or a barbecue/lemon rub. All with no sugar. They could customize their options. Or you can eat them just plain (lemon/garlic)

Grill until no pink remains in the chicken. The time will depend on your grill heat but most times it doesn’t take more than 8 – 12 minutes. Turn periodically so you get good grill marks but don’t burn them.

One great serving idea is to accompany them with grilled green beans.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
