RECIPE BY: Boomette

Taken in the issue of June 2003 of Coup de Pouce. I tried this recipe and it's really good. In the preparation time, there is 15 minutes included for the marinade time.

Posted on: Jan 7, 2008

Ingredients

  • tablespoons olive oil
  • tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic clove, chopped finely
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeds removed and cut in 1-inch pieces
  • Directions

    1. 1
      In a bowl whisk together : olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the pieces of chicken and toss to coat well. Let marinade for 15 minutes. (You can prepare the pieces of chicken until that step and cover with plastic wrap. They’ll be good until 24 hours in the fridge).
    2. 2
      Prepare barbecue to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and put them on 8 metal skewers (or wood skewers but soaked in water), alternate with the pieces of green bell pepper. Put the skewers on a greased grill and cook 12 to 16 minutes or until the chicken is golden and is not pink inside. Turn the chicken skewers occasionnaly.

    I loved these kebobs!!! This is so simple to throw together for a quick weeknight meal, but so tasty!! I added onions with the green peppers and chicken. I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs. I also loved that this used the right amount of the ingredients to marinade the chicken without alot leftover/wasted. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks Boomie for a great recipe!!!!

    This was quite yummy! And very easy. We really enjoyed that the dish was light yet flavorful. I served it with rice, which I made using chicken broth and a pinch of thyme. I didn't have any green pepper, so we ommitted that ingredient, though we could imagine that the flavor of green pepper would have paired well. Excellent! Will make again.
