Kebabs scream summer to me! And since it’s summertime, there’s no better time to share this amazing Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs recipe.
There’s no secret that the key to the recipe is the marinade. It turns plain old chicken and veggies into something else. Having cooked chicken breast on hand is a sure fire way to hit your protein macro goals. It’s so lean and protein packed.
I like to make this in a large batch so that I can have it for a few days. It’s especially delicious right off the grill. But for lunch the next day or two, I actually like it cold on a green salad drizzled with some yummy salad dressing, and hey, why not throw on a little feta cheese (fat free or low fat if you prefer)!
This is a great family recipe too. Although my kids aren’t crazy about the cooked veggies. They LOVE the chicken! I usually save them some of the raw peppers to eat uncooked. You can serve these Mediterranean chicken kabobs as they are, or add something like cooked pasta with it. That’s always a winner for the kids (and me, ahem). Last time we made this I cooked up some rotini pasta, tossed in a little butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and slid the skewered veggies and chicken right on top! Yum! See the recipe below for other ideas to go with this meal.
Hitting macros and eating the same thing as the family is important – this recipe nails both on the head!
