Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabobs
Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabobs are made with marinated chunks of chicken thighs and red onion pieces, flavored by a mixture of olive oil, fresh lemon juice and zest, rosemary, garlic, and Dijon mustard. The marinate tenderizes the chicken and infuses bright, savory flavors, while grilling creates a slightly charred, juicy result.
