Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons dill fresh, chopped
- 2 garlic finely minced or pressed, cloves
- 1 artichoke hearts 12-ounce jar, grilled preferred
- 1 pint tomatoes cherry or grape
- 3 lemon sliced in half
- dill oregano and cilantro for sprinkling, fresh chopped
goat cheese dip
- 8 ounces goat cheese chevre
- 3 tablespoons yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 tablespoon oregano fresh, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken with the salt and paper and place it in a resealable bag or baking dish. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, dill and garlic and pour it over the chicken. Marinate from anywhere to 30 minutes to 2 hours or even overnight.
- Preheat your grill to high.
- When ready to grill, skewer the chicken (I made 6 skewers) with a lemon half on the bottom and tomatoes and artichoke hearts in between. You can skewer them however you’d like! Place the skewers on the grill and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the chicken juices run clear and the chicken and veggies are charred.
- Cover the chicken with a few sprinkles of fresh chopped dill and cilantro. Serve immediately with the goat cheese dip.
Cup of Yum
goat cheese dip
- Place the goat cheese, yogurt, herbs, salt and garlic powder in a food processor. Blend until combined, then with the processor still running, drizzle in the olive oil. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is thoroughly mixed. Taste and season additionally if needed. This will stay fresh sealed in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days.
