Zesty Italian Char-Grilled Chicken & Veg Skewers
Ingredients
- 8 Chicken Thighs
- 2 Zucchini’s
- 1 package whole Bella mushrooms
- 1 bottle Zesty Creamy Italian Dressing/Marinade (We like the Chosen brand from Sprouts, it’s creamy & made with Avocado Oil)
- 1 Jar Pesto
- Olive Oil
- Butter
- Salt & Pepper
- Italian Seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the chicken thighs by trimming off the fat (if needed), seasoning with salt & pepper, and brushing on some Zesty Italian Dressing and set aside.
- Prep the veggies by cutting the zucchini into cubes and alternating the zucchini & mushrooms onto the skewers.
- Brush the veggies with olive oil first, then the pesto and season with salt, pepper, & Italian Seasoning (if desired).
- Heat the charcoal grill by adding the hot coals to one side of the kettle, leaving the other side available for indirect heat space.
- Add the chicken to the indirect side, and brush the other sides with the Italian Dressing. Add pats of butter to each thigh.
- Add the skewered veggies to the direct heat side of the grill (over the flames & coals) and grill for a couple mins on each side before removing from the heat and setting aside into a covered pan to keep hot.
- Grill each thigh for a few (5-6 minutes) per side and then once the veggies are removed, move to the direct heat for a little more charring and to achieve some grill marks.
- Once thighs reach 165, remove and set into pan with the veggies until all chicken is done.
- Serve with remaining Italian dressing and a little extra pesto if needed.
