Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 3 tablespoons Gaby’s Go To Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 lemon cut into wedges/sliced for serving
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs and/or breasts cut into 1 ¼-inch cubes
- 1 recipe basil vinaigrette
Instructions
- Combine the seasoning, olive oil red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl; whisk to combine. Add in the chicken. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Prepare grill over medium-high heat. Thread chicken pieces on skewers, dividing equally. Discard marinade in bowl. Sprinkle each skewer with additional gaby’s go-to seasoning.
- Grill chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer skewers to platter. Serve with basil vinaigrette and extra lemon wedges
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I don't recommend mixing breasts and thighs - choose one or the other so they cook evenly. Or you can make some skewers of each type, keeping in mind that the dark meat takes longer to cook.
