Ready for a fresh, delicious recipe that can be ready in 20 minutes? These Grilled Lemon Dijon Chicken Kabobs have a refreshing flavor from the lemon juice and a little zing from the Dijon mustard.
Not only is it Grilling Season, it’s also the perfect time of year to begin eating healthy. With the nice weather and all the great produce available right now, you can’t go wrong. We served the Chicken Kabobs with a simple store bought salad mixture with tomatoes.
The original recipe called for boneless chicken thighs, but we prefer chicken breasts. After butterflying each breast in half lengthwise, Doug cut the chicken into chunks while I was preparing the marinade.
We enjoyed the Chicken Kabobs along with a salad, the boys liked them without. Either way, you have a quick, easy and delicious meal on the table in under 20 minutes.
