Chicken Shish Kabobs
Chicken Shish Kabobs are made with marinated chicken thigh or breast pieces seasoned with a combination of Gaby’s Go To Seasoning, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The marinade helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with bright, savory flavors. Grilling the skewers over medium-high heat results in juicy, lightly charred pieces that pair well with basil vinaigrette and fresh lemon wedges for added brightness.

Notes
- Use only chicken thighs or only chicken breasts to ensure even cooking times across skewers.
