Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients

• 12 skewers
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch chunks
• 4 large red bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 cup olive oil
• 5 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon leaves

Directions

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat grill on medium heat.

3. 3

   Alternately thread chicken and peppers onto skewers.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, mustard and tarragon. Reserve 1/3 cup of olive oil mixture and set aside.

5. 5

   Oil grill grates. Brush kabobs with some of the olive mixture and place on grill.

6. 6

   Grill kabobs, basting frequently with olive oil mixture and rotating every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into chicken reads 165 degrees.

7. 7

   Remove from grill. Serve drizzled with reserved olive mixture over your favorite rice or couscous, garnished with lemon wedges, if desired.
