CHICKEN KABOBS (LOW CAL.)

Chicken Kabobs (Low Cal.) image

This recipe has increadable flavor,is easy to make and has been the family for years. The marinade carmelizes on the chicken and vegetables, to give them a very unique flavor that complements the vegetables and chicken flavor. These are very low cal.(approx. 310cal. per 2 full skewers), and are quite filling. They are a summer favorite of our family. We serve them with rice or baked potatoe.You can cook them on the B-B-Q or oven. It sound like a very simple recipe, but the flavor isn't, there won't be any left overs. Try these, you will not be sorry.

Time 35m

Yield 12 skewers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 (250 ml) bottle , kraft russian dressing. (has to be russian for the flavor)
1/4 cup soya sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 medium sizes onions (any type)
3 large bell peppers (any color)
12 wooden skewers

Steps:

Mix the russian dressing,soya sauce and brown sugar in a bowl (no need to heat),I usually make a double batch so there is lots of marinade for the reserve. When well mixed, reserve 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinade to use for brushing on the skewers.
Cut chicken breast,onion and peppers into 1 to 2 inch cubes (chicken shrinks quite a bit so don't cut too small).
Put chicken into the marinade and refegerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Soak wooden skewers for 1/2 hour or so.
Take chicken out of fridge.
Dip pepper in marinade and push onto skewer to the end, then chicken, then dip onion in marinade and push onto skewer.
Repeat untill there is none left, alternating vegtables with chicken.
You can also use straight vegetables if you want on some.
Put skewers on Bar-B-Q or oven at 375 f.
Turn and brush with reserve marinade frequently so the chicken doesn't dry out.
Don't worry if the edges of the vegetables burn a little, it actually adds flavor just keep adding reserve marinade on top of them.
Cook until chicken is cooked.(cut into to make sure).
You can also use beef for the skewer if you like (I prefer chicken as the beef tends to dry out abit, plus not low cal.).
Serve with rice or baked potatoes.
Enjoy.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut chicken or vegetable kabob skewers.
For a more flavorful marinade, add herbs and spices like garlic, paprika, cumin, or oregano.
If you don't have bamboo skewers, you can use metal skewers or even wooden dowels.
Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
To prevent the kabobs from sticking to the grill, brush them with oil before cooking.
Cook the kabobs over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally.
Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or hummus.

Conclusion:

Chicken kabobs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy grilled chicken. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own chicken kabobs at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give chicken kabobs a try.
