Grilled Chicken Kebabs With Lemon, Thyme, and Rosemary image

Vegetables take longer than the chicken to cook, so thread them on separate skewers, serving one of each per person.Use flat or square skewers so the food doesn't twirl around on them. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in water at least one hour before using. Handle hot metal skewers with tongs or protected hands. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 3 3/4 very lean meat, 3/4 vegetable, 3/4 fat.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss to coat.
  • Let stand at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Thread the chicken pieces (without crowding) on four 6-inch or 8-inch skewers, and the vegetables on four 8-inch skewers.
