ROSEMARY RANCH CHICKEN KABOBS



Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs image

This is my FAVORITE recipe that I snagged from AllRecipes. I've changed things a bit...but the flavor is incredible! I've cooked this on the grill (in a grill basket lined with foil so as not to lose any of the incredible sauce!), on the stovetop and in the oven. Oven and grill are by far the best methods. I serve this over white rice and the flavor is super!! I usually use dried rosemary, but fresh is best! I also cut the sugar in half and use low fat ranch. I also completely omit the salt since I don't feel it needs it. My kids have been eating this since they were 19 months old! When I bake these in the oven I bake them on 450 degrees for about 20-30 minutes. Lean toward 20 so as not to overcook. YUM!

Since I am now growing some of my own herbs, this recipe caught my eye. I found it on FB and really want to make them. I will probably make them on my George Foreman, cause my grill is not working. I love rosemary so these will be great with a fresh salad, fresh green beans and flavored rice.

ROSEMARY CHICKEN KABOBS

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 12

Marinade:
1 cup olive oil
¼ cup minced garlic
¼ cup minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons salt
black pepper to taste
3 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1 ½ " chunks
Kebabs:
3 cups button mushrooms, stems removed
3 cups red onions, cut into 1" squares
4 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt & Pepper

Steps:

  • For marinade: Whisk all marinade ingredients, including salt & pepper to taste, in a bowl. Transfer to a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Add chicken; refrigerate, turning once or twice, for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours. For kebobs: preheat grill with all burners set to high and the lid down until the grill is very hot. Scrape the cooking grate clean. Turn all burners to med-high. Meanwhile, lightly coat the vegetables with oil. Season with salt & pepper. Remove chicken chunks from the bag; discard the marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables onto the skewers (use 2 skewers per kebab, if desired, for easy turning on the grill). Grill the skewers, covered, turning each ¼ turn every 2-3 minutes, until the chicken and vegetables are lightly browned and meat is fully cooked, about 8 minutes for white meat and 9 minutes for dark meat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary. Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary, so it'll give your chicken kabobs a more pronounced flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the kabobs. If you overcrowd the kabobs, they won't cook evenly. Make sure there's enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook all the way through.
  • Cook the chicken kabobs over medium heat. Cooking them over high heat will cause them to burn on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside. Medium heat will allow them to cook evenly and thoroughly.
  • Baste the chicken kabobs with the marinade while they're cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken kabobs with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for chicken kabobs include rice, grilled vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Rosemary chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
