Chicken Shish Kabob

This is one of my favorite ways to cook shish kabob, chicken marinated in crushed garlic and olive oil, then skewered with a slice of red onion in between the chicken pieces. The combination of the grilled chicken and caramelized red onion is awesome.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
4 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 red onion

Preparation:

Wash and dry the chicken breast and then cut into pieces about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2." Place the chicken breast pieces into a large zip lock bag, add the garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive. Marinate the chicken for 1/2 hour minimum.

 

Take the red onion and slice in quarters so you can get some large pieces. To make the shish kabob, start with a piece of red onion and then a piece of chicken. Repeat the process with 4 or 5 more pieces of chicken and finish with a piece of onion.

 

I like to use an indoor grill pan for this dish because it does a better job of evenly cooking the chicken. Start with a hot grill pan and add the chicken skewers. You 'll want to turn the chicken 1/4 turn every 4 minutes for a total cooking time of 12 minutes. After 12 minutes check to make sure the chicken is done. Serve the shish kabob with rice, pasta or salad for a wonderful meal.
