Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness and brined in saltwater (*see easy instructions below)
1 Tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I prefer smoked paprika)
optional: fresh lemon wedges

Steps:

To brine the chicken breasts, fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the whole chicken breasts and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes. Or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse them with cold water, then pat them dry with some paper towels. (If the chicken breasts you purchased have already been pre-brined in a sodium solution, skip this brining step completely.)
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl and drizzle evenly with the olive oil. Toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until combined. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken. Then toss for 1 minute, or until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning. Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, drizzled with freshly-squeezed lemon juice if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

FLAVORFUL GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS

This originally stems from a Cook's Illustrated recipe. The homemade bbq sauce is replaced with bottled. I don't think the original recipe's sauce was anything special nor worthy of the effort to make. What is worth the effort is the bacon rub.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken breasts (trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes) or 2 lbs skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
fresh ground black pepper (can sub chipotle powder)
2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes before using
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided (Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory works well)

Steps:

Toss chicken and salt in large bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Heat gas grill to medium high.
While grill heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine sweet paprika, sugar, smoked paprika and pepper or chipotle powder in small bowl.
Process bacon in food processor until a smooth paste forms, 30 to 45 seconds, scraping down bowl twice during processing. Add bacon paste and spice mixture to chicken; mixing with hands or rubber spatula until ingredients are thoroughly blended and chicken is completely coated.
Thread meat onto skewers, rolling or folding meat as necessary to maintain 1-inch cubes.
Place kebabs on grill, turning one-quarter turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until well browned and slightly charred, about 8 minutes for breasts or 10 minutes for thighs. Brush top surface of kebabs with 1/4 cup sauce; flip and cook until sauce is brown in spots, about 1 minute. Brush second side with remaining 1/4 cup sauce; flip and continue to cook until brown in spots until cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve, passing reserved barbecue sauce separately.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lemon
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 pinch dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into sections
1/2 lb grape tomatoes (they look like small, pear shaped cherry tomatoes, but they are much better on the grill, and taste)
2 red peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

Place chicken breast pieces in a bowl.
Pour in enough olive oil to completely cover pieces, squeeze the lemon over them, and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and a couple of twists of cracked pepper.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Assemble kebabs, and grill until chicken is no longer pink, about 10-15 minutes depending on your grill.
Don't overcook them, though.

Whether you're looking to create a flavorful dish for your family or impress your friends at your next barbecue, these grilled chicken kabob recipes from alicerecipes.com are sure to deliver. With a variety of marinade and kabob flavor combinations to choose from, you'll find the perfect recipe for your taste buds.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose chicken breasts or thighs that are free of blemishes and fat, and use fresh vegetables that are crisp and colorful.
Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook more quickly than larger pieces, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Don't overcrowd the kabobs. Leave some space between the pieces so that the air can circulate and the food can cook evenly.
Cook the kabobs over medium heat. High heat will cause the chicken to overcook and become dry, while low heat will not cook the chicken through.
Baste the kabobs with marinade or sauce while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:
