Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Brochettes

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 pearl onions, unpeeled
2 small yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 cherry tomatoes
12 bamboo (soaked in water) or metal skewers

Cooking Instructions

1. To make the marinade, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

2. Place the chicken in a separate bowl, toss it with half of the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

3. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the onions, rinse them under cold water and peel.

4. Add the onions, summer squash and zucchini to the remaining marinade and set aside at room temperature for a few minutes or refrigerate overnight.
(This can be done in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)

5. Preheat the grill to medium-high.

6. Thread the chicken and vegetables, including the cherry tomatoes, onto the skewers. Grill the brochettes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
