Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Mediterranean herbs or Herbs de Provence, dried
  • 2 Tablespoons oregano fresh, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme fresh leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 3 peaches semi-firm
  • 1 whole lemon halved

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl or jar, stir together the lemon juice, minced garlic, dried herbs, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and olive oil. This is your punchy marinade.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1-1/2 inch cubes. Drop into a large resealable plastic bag and pour in HALF of the marinade. Reserve the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and turn it a few times until the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  3. Preheat a grill to 400F. Have a spray bottle handy for flare ups and a sturdy pair of tongs.
  4. Cut peaches in half, and then quarters. Thread marinated chicken onto metal skewers, alternating with the peaches. Do not over-crowd. I like to use 2-3 pieces of chicken per skewer; you'll need about 12 skewers.
  5. Grill kebabs over direct heat for 4-5 minutes until they have grill marks, then flip and grill the other side. Combat flare-ups with a spray of water. Alongside the chicken, grill the lemon, cut side down.
  6. Pull out that reserved marinade. Move the kebabs to indirect heat to continue cooking, about 5-7 more minutes. Baste them frequently with the marinade, brushing it on both the chicken and the peaches, and turning the kebabs once or twice. Cooking time will vary from grill to grill.
  7. Remove chicken and lemon; pile onto a platter. Rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil to keep warm. Heap the kebabs onto a bed of fresh herbs and squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Serve with a generous side of tzatziki sauce.
