For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving. If you don't have cooking sherry, dry white wine or chicken broth can be used as a substitute. Feel free to get creative with the vegetables! Bell peppers, yellow squash, or cherry tomatoes would also be delicious additions. To prevent the wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. Serve these Grilled Pesto Chicken Kabobs with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a glass bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, cooking sherry, pesto, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (4 hours - overnight)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
04
StepThread the marinated chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, red onion wedges, and grape tomatoes alternately onto the skewers, creating visually appealing and balanced kabobs. (15 minutes)
05
StepPlace the kabobs onto the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 10 to 15 minutes. Ensure the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred. (10-15 minutes)
06
StepRemove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
