Chicken and Summer Vegetable Kebabs

DietType - Dialysis, Diabetes

Yield: 4 portions                                

Serving size: 1 large kebab or 2 small kebabs

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (6 thighs)
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 medium onion

Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon peach jam
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash® herb seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparations

  1. To make marinade, measure peach jam into a small microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 to 15 seconds to liquefy. Add olive oil, lemon juice, Mrs. Dash® herb seasoning and salt. Stir until well blended. 
  2. Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each thigh into 4 pieces and place in a zip-lock bag.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons marinade to chicken pieces. (Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade to use on vegetables). Seal zip-lock bag and refrigerate to marinate.
  4. Cut vegetables into even bite-sized pieces for kebabs (zucchini-8 slices, red pepper-16 pieces, onion-varies). Place in a medium bowl and add reserved marinade. Stir to coat vegetable pieces.
  5. Thread vegetables and chicken pieces onto skewers (4 large or 8 small sized skewers).
  6. Heat barbeque grill to medium heat. Place skewers on the grill and cook covered for 12 to 15 minutes. Turn skewers 2 or 3 times to cook evenly.
