Ingredients
Chicken Kebabs
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
3 plump garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried rosemary
salt & black pepper, to taste
handful of chopped fresh parsley
2 lbs. boneless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 red onions, cut into chunks
Lemon Aioli
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Zest from half a lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
A good grind of black pepper
Instructions
To prepare the marinade, in a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sliced yellow onion, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley.
Pour marinade in a gallon-size ziplock. Add the chicken.
Allow chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In the meantime, prepare the aioli.
In a small mixing bowl whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic and black pepper. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
When ready, preheat grill to medium-high.
Loosely thread the marinated chicken along with bell pepper and red onion on metal skewers.
Place skewers on the grill, turning often so each side browns nicely and has grill marks.
Grill until chicken is cooked through (about 15 – 20 minutes) or until juices run clear and veggies have softened.
Serve skewers with lemon aioli, lemon wedges, and fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
