Cooking Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the chicken and vegetables to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• If using metal skewers, make sure to handle them with oven mitts or tongs as they can get hot during grilling.
• Feel free to customize the vegetables on the kabobs according to your preference. Zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes work well too.
• For extra flavor, brush the kabobs with a mixture of melted butter and lemon juice before grilling.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the kabobs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated kabobs with fresh mint yogurt sauce and enjoy!
