Instructions
- Make the pesto by heating a dry skillet over medium heat, add the pine nuts then toast for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown, tossing often.
- Put the garlic and pine nuts in a food processor then pulse until chopped. Add basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper then pulse until well blended.
- Slowly pour the olive oil in while the processor is on. Make sure to scrape the sides then pulse again until thoroughly mixed. Taste and re-season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Prepare the veggie kebabs by placing all the cut veggies into a dish. Add 2 tablespoons of pesto, to taste, then toss until evenly coated. Skewer the veggies one at a time, trying to get a couple of each veggie on a skewer. Cover and place into the refrigerator to marinate for 45-60 minutes.
- Prepare the chicken kebabs by cutting the chicken into the same-sized chunks and placing them into a glass dish. Add 2-3 tablespoons of pesto, to taste, then toss until evenly coated. Skewer the chicken along with some pieces of red onion. Cover and place into the refrigerator to marinate for 45-60 minutes.
- Cook the kebabs by heating an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat until hot. Be sure the grates are clean and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place the vegetable skewers on the HOT grill and cook, turning every 3 minutes, for 112-15 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
- When the veggies have just a few more minutes to cook place the chicken skewers on the grill.
- Cook for about 5 minutes; turn and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove to a serving platter. Enjoy.
