Firing up the grill? These colorful kabobs are an easy addition to any summer barbecue.

Recipe:

  • 4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
  • 1/3 cup Madhava Savory Hickory Sage
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 8 (8-inch) wooden or metal skewers
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut crosswise into 1-inch rounds
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:

  1. Cut chicken into 2- x 1-inch strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice and zest, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken breasts in a zip sealed plastic bag or glass dish that holds them snugly in a single layer and add the marinade. If using a dish, cover with plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to overnight.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.
  5. Thread chicken and vegetables onto 8 (8-inch) skewers.
  6. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 15 to 20 minutes or until done, turning occasionally. Serve skewers with a light drizzle of Savory Hickory Sage, if desired.
