I recently wrote a post about meal planning and prepping food for the week. In it I described how I cut up and marinated a shit ton of vegetables. And also chicken. But I date a vegetarian, so half of the kabobs were just veggies, the other half chicken and veggies. Here’s how I made them.
Basil Marinated Chicken & Veggie Kabobs
Basil Marinated Chicken & Veggie Kabobs is a great low-carb dinner or lunch! The fragrant marinade makes the meat super tender and aromatic!
Basil Dressing
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 bunch basil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 cups olive oil
- salt and pepper
Veggies To Marinate
- 2 green peppers
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 cup chicken (if using)
Just blend all ingredients for the basil dressing in a blender until smooth.
- Cut up all the veggies and chicken into cubes, roughly the same size. Halve the tomatoes and mushrooms.
Pour the marinade over and toss to combine. You don’t need all of the marinades, I used about half.
- Marinate for at least an hour.
- Put all of the veggies and chicken on skewers.
- Cook on grill or on grill pan on medium high.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, making sure to rotate so all side of the skewers are cooked
You can use shrimp or beef instead of chicken.
