Italian Chicken Skewers ~ Easy Meal Idea

This grilled chicken recipe uses a quick homemade Italian marinade and dressing that adds great flavor and keeps the chicken tender and juicy on the grill. Zesty Italian dressing with a little spicy brown mustard works great too. 

Ingredients Needed:

• Boneless Chicken Breasts
• Olive Oil
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Lemon Juice
• Spicy Brown Mustard
• Honey
• Parmesan Cheese
• Granulated Garlic
• Dried Basil
• Dried Oregano
• Dried Thyme
• Kosher Salt
• Fresh Ground Pepper
• Zucchini

How to Make Italian Chicken Skewers:

• Slice chicken breasts into thin slices. You can do thin strips lengthwise or cut through the thick part and make 2 thin chicken breast slices. Either way works fine. 
• Place chicken into a gallon size zip to bag.

• Make the Italian Dressing by adding the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, spicy brown mustard, honey, parmesan cheese, herbs and spices to a mason jar.

• Cover the jar and shake vigorously until well combined. 

• Pour half of the dressing over the chicken. Reserve the other half for serving, keep refrigerated.

• Press the air out of the bag and seal. Turn the bag over a few times, rubbing the dressing all over the chicken.
• Refrigerate at least one hour and up to 8 hours before grilling.

• Slice zucchini into rounds. 
• Prepare a grill fire with pecan or hickory for smoke flavor.

• Thread chicken and zucchini onto skewers.

• Grill chicken and zucchini skewers over indirect fire with the grill closed.

• Cook for 15 minutes, check the chicken in several places using a digital thermometer, continue cooking until chicken reaches 165°. 

• Remove from grill to a serving platter.
• Slide the chicken and zucchini off of the skewers for serving and drizzle with remaining Italian dressing if desired.
