Kristy’s Kabob’s
Ingredients
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
2 Cucumbers
1 Pack of Cherrie Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Package Turkey Kabasa
Marinade
3 Large Garlic Cloves
1 Cup Olive Oil
¼ Cup Water
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 Tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp Rose Mary
1 Tsp Parsley
2 Tbsp Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbs
Directions
To save time I prepare this meal the night before I cook it. Mince garlic gloves in a garlic press and set in a prep bowl to the side. Cut chicken and Kabasa into one inch pieces and set to the side. In a small bowl add oil, vinaigrette, pepper, oregano, rosemary, parsley, minced garlic and gorgonzola and mix well. Pour half of the marinade over the cut meat. Rinse and drain all vegetables, than using a clean knife and cutting board cut all veggies (accept tomatoes) into one inch pieces and set to the side. Thread the meat and veggies onto wooden or metal skewers and place in an oven-safe dish, pour remaining marinade over the kabobs, cover with foil and place in the fridge until ready to cook. During the summer, grill skewers on the prepared grill until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. During the winter, turn oven to broil cook for 8 minutes, flip skewers and cook for 8 more minutes or until chicken has cooked through.
For Teriyaki Kabobs try adding snap peas, carrots and pineapple. Substitute Kabasa for steak or more chicken. Replace red onion with green onion. Marinade: 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup brown sugar, ¼ Cup Soy Sauce, 4 Tbsp Water, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 Tsp minced ginger, 1 cup pineapple juice.
