Italian Chicken & Vegetable Kabobs


RECIPE

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield
4 servings

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups cut-up vegetables (red bell pepper, onion, zucchini, eggplant, yellow squash and mushrooms)
6 cups mixed salad greens

Preparation
1. For marinade, combine Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing, basil, parsley and lemon juice in medium bowl; set aside.

2. Alternately thread chicken and vegetables on 4 skewers. Place kabobs in large, shallow nonaluminum baking dish or plastic bag. Pour 1 1/4 cups prepared marinade over kabobs; refrigerate remaining marinade. Cover, or close bag, and marinate in refrigerator, turning skewers occasionally, about 1 hour.

3. Remove kabobs from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill or broil kabobs, turning and basting with 1/4 cup refrigerated marinade, 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is thoroughly cooked.

4. To serve, toss remaining refrigerated marinade with greens, then top with kabobs.

Substitution: Also great with Wish-Bone Light Italian Dressing.
