Lemon Chicken Kabobs

For a few years now, I have spent more time than I would like to admit looking at blogs. A few years ago I found this blog that I enjoyed looking at, and this was the first recipe I tried from their site. It was so good, it has become a staple at our dinner table. My kids love it because they get to eat something off of a stick. My husband and I love it because they are so flavorful, moist, and delicious. It is a somewhat healthy meal, we like to serve ours with a side of rice and some fresh fruit. Another great thing about this dish is it can be baked in the oven or you can throw it out on your grill, I have made it both ways and both have great results. I do prefer the grill, because then my hubby has to do the cooking :).

The recipe calls for adding green peppers and onions, but I did not have any on hand, so I made it with out this time, but it is great either way!

Print Recipe

2 Lbs chicken, cubed
green peppers, cut into pieces
red onion, cut into pieces

Marinade:
4-5 Tbsps olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
5-6 Tbsp. soy sauce (or to taste)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
black pepper to taste (at least 1/2 tsp)

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Put chicken in a large Ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Press all the air out of the bag and then seal. Place bag in a bowl and refrigerate overnight (or you can marinade 3-4 hours and it is still good). About 30 minutes prior to serving. Alternate chicken, peppers, and onion on skewers (if you are using wood skewers-- remember to soak them in water for at least an hour). You can either grill the kabobs -- OR you can put them in the oven at 375-degrees for 25-30 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through)-- turning half-way through.
