Grilled Chicken & Sweet Pepper with Garlic and Balsamic

Grilled chicken & Sweet Peppers with Garlic and Balsamic

Although summer has been very mild this year,  I still hate to heat the house up by cooking in the kitchen when it isn’t absolutely necessary.  We bought a new grill this year and it has been awesome. Our last grill was a hand me down from a friend and on its last legs so to speak. I love me some kabobs or skewers. There is just a certain texture and flavor you can get on a grill that is not nearly the same from the oven or frying pan.

Grilled Chicken & Sweet pepper with garlic and balsamic

1 large chicken breast cut into 10 large chunks
12 small sweet peppers (or large peppers cut into big chunks)
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon salt or to taste
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Ground Black pepper to taste

Cut tops from peppers and chunk up chicken breast. Place in a bowl with other ingredients and mix well. I like to let the chicken and peppers marinate for a couple hours, but you can use them right away if you are in a hurry. Take two 16+ inch skewers and slide chicken and peppers onto them alternating meat and vegetable.

Turn on your grill or grill plate to high. Once grill is heated, sear the skewers five minute on each side.

Take them off the heat and set aside for five minutes. Don’t cook them longer or you will have a dry pile of mush.

These are great as a main course with some beans or avocado on the side.  Not to mention, perfect for a South Beach or diabetic diet.
