Recipe Help

Greek Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 lemons (rinsed)
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 medium eggplant (rinsed)
1 large sweet onion (rinsed)
6 (12-inch) bamboo skewers
1 (4.5-ounce) jar large garlic-stuffed olives
cooking spray



Steps
  1. Preheat grill. Combine in medium bowl, Greek seasoning, olive oil, and juice of 1 lemon. Cut chicken evenly into one-inch-chunks; stir into oil mixture. Let stand 5–7 minutes to marinate. (Wash hands, knife, and cutting board with hot, soapy water.)
  2. Meanwhile, remove ends from eggplant; cut eggplant into 1-inch-chunks. Remove ends and peel from onion; cut onion into 1-inch-chunks. Cut remaining 3 lemons in half; then cut each half into quarters.
  3. Build kabobs by alternating ingredients (chicken, eggplant, olives, onions, and lemons) evenly among six long skewers (include lemons and onions next to chicken for best flavor). Wash hands. Brush remaining marinade mixture over kabobs; then spray lightly with cooking spray.
  4. Place skewers on grill (wash hands); close lid (or cover loosely with foil). Grill 6–7 minutes; turn and grill 5–7 more minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.)

Note: Kabobs may be cooked in grill pan preheated on medium-high. Lightly coat pan with canola oil. (Cut kabobs in half, if needed, to fit in pan.) Cook time will be about the same. Serve

Shortcuts & Tips

Pre-soaking bamboo skewers is not necessary; it really doesn’t keep the skewers from burning. Just give them a quick rinse before adding ingredients.
