Ingredients

Rosemary Lemon Marinade

1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Kabobs

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini or yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
1 pound asparagus spears
1/4 cup feta cheese

Directions

1

Mix all ingredients for Rosemary Lemon Marinade in shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable plastic food-storage bag. Add chicken; stir to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, stirring chicken occasionally, at least 30 minutes but no longer than 6 hours.
2

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Thread chicken, bell pepper, zucchini and onion alternately on each of four 15-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each piece. Brush vegetables with marinade.
3

Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing frequently with marinade, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add asparagus to grill for last 5 minutes of grilling, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender. Discard any remaining marinade.
4

Sprinkle cheese over kabobs. Serve kabobs with asparagus.

Expert Tips

tip 1
For brilliant green asparagus, plunge the asparagus into boiling water, then into ice water and onto paper towels to drain before placing on the grill.
tip 2
Toss cooked rosamarina (orzo) pasta with chopped fresh herbs (thyme and Italian parsley are terrific) for a delicious side dish.
