Lemon Chicken and Veggie Skewers

As grilling season is back (even though we grill in winter) I thought it would be nice to share one of my favorite Skewer recipes.  You can also  make this with steak if you prefer.

Ingredients:

• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp oregano (or 1 TBSP fresh)
• 16 oz skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 red onion, quartered and layers separated
• Veggies of your choice.  (Green/Red/Yellow Bell Peppers; cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, etc)
• 4 skewers (metal or if wood soak them first)
• Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste (I use very little maybe pinch of salt and 1-2 tsp pepper)

Directions:

Combine garlic, oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Place chicken or steak in air tight container or gallon sized ziploc bag and pour the marinade over.  Refrigerate overnight.



Layer chicken, onion and veggies on the skewers.

Turn grill on Med-High and once heated spray the grill lightly with non stick grill spray.
Grill skewers about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
