Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Brochettes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 pearl onions, unpeeled
  • 2 small yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 bamboo (soaked in water) or metal skewers

Directions

  1. To make the marinade, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Place the chicken in a separate bowl, toss it with half of the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the onions, rinse them under cold water and peel.
  4. Add the onions, summer squash and zucchini to the remaining marinade and set aside at room temperature for a few minutes or refrigerate overnight.
    (This can be done in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  6. Thread the chicken and vegetables, including the cherry tomatoes, onto the skewers. Grill the brochettes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
