Grilled Chicken Skewers

These grilled chicken skewers are served with a fresh taste of summer – garden herbs galore!

 

We got home from vacation and realized two things: 1. Our garden has really taken off! And 2. We have no food in our house. Today was the last straw, so we were “forced” to go get the double deals at Sprouts!

There were apparently a lot of thunderstorms and rain while we were gone (thankfully not for us!), and our garden has pretty much turned into a tomato forest. So – just wait til this summer. Remember Cucumber Month? We may have Tomato Summer.

Since everything has been growing so well, I decided to harvest some of my favorite flavors last night and embrace the fact that summer is very well on its way – by grilling out! Now…I’m not the griller. So I definitely cannot take full credit for the execution here, but J said he’d teach me how to do it soon! We are a charcoal grill fam, so it takes a bit more finesse than a gas grill (I assume…).

I hope you #enJOY these easy chicken skewers as a quick summer meal many times this summer. I have a feeling we will!

    Oooh that fresh-cooked steam! I just want to pick one up and eat it! I think you’re probably right that charcoal grills take a little more learning than gas. I’ve only cooked on gas, and charcoal still intimidates me a little bit. Thank goodness for guest cooking stars!

      I was so surprised, actually, that the steam was caught in the photo! When hubs teaches me, I’ll have to teach you!

    Love it and they are so easy! I made something similar last night with elk and chicken. The grill and our electric smoker are my best friends.

      Elk!! That sounds amazing! I’ve never had it. A smoker is probably next on the list of toys the hubs is going to want!
