Garlic Lemon Chicken Kabobs

I've been wanting to write a post with this recipe for awhile now.  This recipe is for our most loved chicken kabob recipe.  We make others when we want a break from this one, but this one just wins big every time.  This recipe for Garlic Lemon Chicken Kabobs comes from Annie's Eats blog.  This is a quick and flavorful meal.  We usually just eat the kabobs with peppers and onions and a side of some sort of fruit.


Ingredients:
-3 Tbsp. EVOO
-Zest of 1 lemon
-juice of half a lemon*
-3 cloves of garlic
-1 Tbsp. parsley (fresh or dried*)
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
-1/2 tsp. pepper

-1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-1/2 red bell pepper*
-1/2 green bell pepper*
-1 white onion*

Combine the first seven ingredients into a medium bowl.  Cube the chicken and add to the marinade.  Annie's Eats says to marinade for at least two hours.  I can tell you many times where we completely forgot and let it marinate for about 15 minutes and it still as flavorful.  Then, cut the onions and peppers into large chunks.  Skewer the marinated chicken, along with the onions and peppers.  Grill until done (about 10 minutes).

We do add some freshly squeeze lemon juice to the marinade because you are already zesting a lemon, so why not squeeze in some juice?  We don't always have fresh parsley and have had to substitute dried parsley which also works fine.

This is a recipe you want to be sure to try soon- it'll become a summer regular.  Enjoy!
