How to Make Swedish Grilled Kebabs

  1. Skin and debone 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut each breast into 6-8 bite-sized pieces.
  2. Season chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup olive oil, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 clove minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Prepare your vegetables: 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper (chopped into 1-inch chunks), 1 green bell pepper (chopped into 1-inch chunks), 1 red onion (quartered), 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 1 medium yellow squash or zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds), and 1 lemon (cut into 8 thick slices).
  5. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients for an appealing presentation.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill the kebabs for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. (Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F).
  8. Garnish with fresh bay leaves before serving.
  9. For an extra burst of flavor, boil down leftover marinade in a saucepan until slightly thickened, and spoon over the cooked kebabs.
