Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless chicken thighs
- 1 Red onion
- 1 Zucchini
- 10 Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Whole-grain mustard
- 0.5 tsp Ground allspice
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 6 Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5 inches).
Slice the red onion into wedges and cut the zucchini into thick slices (about 1/2 inch).
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, whole-grain mustard, ground allspice, ground black pepper, salt, chopped dill, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble the kebabs by threading chicken pieces, red onion wedges, zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Swedish Grilled Kebabs with a side of your choice, such as roasted potatoes, a light salad, or a crusty piece of bread.
