Ingredients

Ingredients for Marinade:
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 medium lemons juiced
  • 2 Tbsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 Handful of parsley
  • 1 handful of dill
Ingredients for Shiskabobs:
  • 2 lbs chicken breast or chicken tenders diced into 1-inch squares
  • 2-3 large red or yellow bell peppers or 3 medium Zucchini 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 2 medium red onions sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lbs button mushrooms whole
  • 15 Wooden skewers

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine all marinade ingredients and pulse about 15-30 seconds until well blended/chopped. Don't forget the salt.
  2. Mix Veggies with half the marinade in one ziplock bag, and chicken with remaining marinade in a second ziploc bag and toss to coat with marinade. Refrigerate for around 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  3. While veggies and chicken marinating, soak wooden skewers in a water bath; the longer the better. This keeps the skewers from burning on the grill.
  4. Start preheating your BBQ to around 400˚F. Thread meat and veggies on the skewer and grill over medium heat with the lid closed, turning every 2 minutes until chicken is fully cooked, approximately 15 min. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These Shiskabobs reheat well, just place them in your oven at 400˚F for 10 min. Or remove from skewers and toss over a hot skillet until heated through.
