Grilled Chicken Skewers


Grilled Chicken Skewers

Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, fresh minced
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes, crushed
1 tablespoon oregano, fresh minced
1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 lb. wt. chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 3/4 cups California green seedless grapes, picked from stem and rinsed
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
Directions
In small bowl combine olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, rosemary and lemon zest. Whisk together marinade.

Cut chicken into 3/4 inch cubes. Alternate chicken and grapes and thread onto 12 skewers.

Place skewers into a baking dish or pan large enough to hold them. Pour marinade over skewers, coating each one. Marinate for 4-24 hours.

Remove skewers from marinade and let excess oil drip off. Season with salt.

Grill on barbecue until chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes on each side.

Arrange on serving platter and drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice.
