Yogurt Marinated Fajita Lime Chicken Kebobs

Step 1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place into a large ziplock bag or storing container.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade listed above. Stir well to thoroughly combine. Add to the bag with the chicken. You can either use a spoon to toss the chicken to coat or seal the bag and give it a good shake.

Step 3

Place the chicken into the refrigerator to marinade a minimum of 2 hours to overnight.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinading, prepare the Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce by combining all ingredients (minus the scallions and cilantro) into a food processor or blender. Puree until creamy. Add in the chopped scallions and cilantro. Process until  it reaches a creamy consistency. Place into a sealed container into the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them for approximately 30 minutes prior to using to prevent them from catching fire on the grill.

Step 6

Add the chicken to the skewers, alternating between it and the vegetables, to fill 6 skewers.

Step 7

Preheat the grill to medium-heat. Brush a light coating of oil over the grates. This will help prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place each kebab on the grill, cover with lid, and allow to cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Cook approximately 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).

Step 9

Remove the kebabs to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes (optional), and freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve right away, garnished with the Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce.

Step 10

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Add a baking rack to the top of the aluminum foil and spray generously with nonstick spray.

Step 11

Lay each kebab on the baking rack, leaving a little space in between each one to ensure they cook thoroughly.

Step 12

Spray the tops of each kebab with cooking spray. This will help keep them moist, yet also help to give a crispy exterior.

Step 13

Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. After they have cooked through, turn the broil on to help brown the outside (optional). Be careful to watch to avoid burning!

Step 14

Serve garnished with fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes (optional), and freshly squeezed lime juice. Don't forget the Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce!
