- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 bunch fresh mint

Wow! A friend had given me TONS of mint and I wasn't sure what to do with all of it. I thought it would be way to powerful to use in this way but was suprised how mild and pleasant it got when I grilled it. I was concerned about the mint catching fire because another reviewer said they had a probelem with that so I sprayed on a little olive oil before ever placing the kebabs on the grill. Then I basted them with the lemon olive oil mixture. Amazing! so easy and so delicious. I served mine over jasmine rice with a little plain yogurt on the side for dipping.

this was AWESOME! I used fresh mint instead of dried and opted for chicken breasts instead of kebabs and i sauteed the onion with the lemon oil mixture. GREAT recipe!

These were so good!!! I loved the flavor of the chicken! So did the rest of my family. Also learned mint is highly flammable(!), so I may cook them on medium low next time. This recipe looks and smells so elegant, and is fun to eat...thanks!

i was a little nervous about the mint as it is not one of my favorite herbs. in this dish it was so nicely balanced with the other seasonings, garlic and onions. just delicious.
