Grilling season pretty much has no season here in our home. I grill all year long. But it’s days like these when the warm weather and the grill just call my name. Truth be told, our spring has been wet and cold, definitely not perfect grilling weather. That has put a damper on the spring crops. But this week, things are finally straightening out.

Grilled Italian Herb Chicken Skewers are so good. During the heat of the summer, I use all the fresh vegetables we grow here on the farm. So head out to your local farmers market and see what you can find in season. I like to think of this recipe as a sheet pan dinner. Your protein and veggies are all set, Only thing missing is corn on the cob, a starch or a summer salad or two.

How Do I Make Grilled Italian Herb Chicken Skewers?

Summer fun and grilling go hand in hand with. I think skewers or kabobs if you prefer, are such fun food. Food on a stick. That’s a pretty cool concept. It’s a great way to add a little variety too – add your protein of choice (in this case chicken), and some hearty vegetables. You can pretty much raid your garden and add any vegetables to the mix. I used zucchini, yellow squash and cherry tomatoes because there are in abundance here on our farm. I also added some red peppers, onion, and mushrooms too.

After I threaded the vegetables and chicken through the skewers, I marinated them in a homemade Italian dressing for about an hour. I used wooded bamboo skewers so the liquid will help them from burning. You should also soak them in water before too. After these Italian Herb Chicken Skewers are marinated, pop them on a hot grill for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Now, this Italian Herb Chicken Skewers recipe is the perfect way to get your grill and summer on! Enjoy!
