Lemon Garlic Chicken Kebab

Ingredients List

· Chicken

· 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

· Zest of 1 lemon

· 2 tablespoons minced garlic

· 2 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

· 2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more, to taste

· 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste

· 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

· Optional Vegetables

· Juice of 1 lemon lemon

· 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

· 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

· 2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks

Directions

1) To prepare chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Add chicken and stir to combine. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
2) To prepare grill, plank and skewers: Soak a cedar plank in water according to package instructions. Prepare a medium fire in a grill and heat plank. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover for at least 20 minutes.
3) To prepare vegetables: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside. Thread onion and bell pepper onto skewers, alternating pieces and dividing them equally. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken onto separate skewers, taking care not to pack pieces too tightly.
4) To grill: Lay skewers on warm plank. Brush vegetables with olive oil-lemon juice mixture. Close lid and cook until chicken is opaque throughout and the vegetables are soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer skewers to a warmed platter and serve immediately. http://completerecipes.com/lemon-garlic-chicken-kebab.html
