It's grilling season

Kebabs are an easy meal for entertaining in the spring, especially if you need to swap your protein for vegetarian accommodations!

We’re big fans of making social gatherings a team effort by collaborating on a menu and defining who brings what to maximize our time together!

There is something gratifying about using freshly chopped ingredients with marinated protein to assemble kebabs to slap onto a grill on a warm sunny day!

You will need

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 package of bacon
2 zucchini
1 package of mini sweet peppers
½ red onion
2 Tablespoons Italian salad dressing
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt
6-8 wooden skewers soaked in water

Instructions

Pat dry the chicken and cut it into 1-inch pieces—season with salt and pepper.
Whisk Italian salad dressing and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl.
Slice vegetables into 1” pieces, put into the bowl with chicken, and stir to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes to marinade.
Preheat the grill to high heat, and brush clean.
Alternate placing chicken, bacon, and vegetables onto skewers, spacing each piece about ¼-inch from the next.
Lower grill heat to medium-high heat, and cook kebabs for 6-8 minutes per side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
