Pesto can sometimes be overpowering, but not in this recipe! Using it in a marinade adds the wonderful flavors of basil and garlic, without taking away from the natural flavors of the chicken and vegetables.
Ingredients
Kabobs
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms
- 1 small zucchini, cut into chunks
- 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
- 12 grape tomatoes
- 6 metal skewers
Marinade
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking sherry
- 2 tablespoons prepared pesto
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Whisk oil, sherry, pesto, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a glass bowl. Add chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Thread marinated chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, and tomatoes alternately onto skewers. Reserve remaining marinade.
Step 4
Place kabobs onto the preheated grill, and cook, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes prior to use.
