Chicken, Artichoke and Grape Skewers
Ingredients
Skewers
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
zest from 1 lemon
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
4 chicken breasts, about 5oz each, trimmed and cut into 3/4″ cubes
-
9 oz package frozen artichokes, cooked according to package directions
-
1 cup (160gm) seedless red grapes
Tarragon-Yogurt Sauce
-
1/2 cup (4oz) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
-
2 teaspoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
2 tablespoons water
-
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon
-
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
If using wooden skewers, arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with hot water (it doesn’t need to be boiling; hot water from the tap is fine. Soaking the skewers helps prevent them from catching on fire while grilling.)
-
To prepare skewers, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt. Add chicken and allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, pre-heat grill to medium-low heat. Prepare tarragon-yogurt sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Thread chicken, artichokes and grapes onto skewers. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through. Serve warm with tarragon-yogurt sauce.
