This is one of those perfect meals that is absolutely delicious with minimal effort. Especially, if you have a grill master living with you {thanks, B!}. On a side note, we've been watching a huge spider build a pretty impressive web outside on our patio for a couple of days now. Brad, who loathes spiders, insisted on making a special trip to the store last night for "spider spray" {as he called it} before he would set foot on the patio to cook. Ha! Poor spider.
If you grill skewered meats often, I suggest investing in some metal skewers. Wooden skewers work just as well, but make sure you soak them for a bit before loading them up and throwing them on the grill. Otherwise, they'll catch on fire.
I served this with grilled zucchini on the side, but any vegetable or side dish will work. Just make sure whatever you make to go with your grilled chicken and orange skewers doesn't take longer or require more effort than the skewers themselves :)
Grilled Chicken & Orange Skewers
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large 1 1/2 in. pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 orange, cut into 16 pieces
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Heat the grill on medium heat while you are assembling the skewers so that you can toss them on as soon as your ready. Spray lightly with cooking oil.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken, onion, orange, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together, making sure the chicken, orange pieces, and onion get evenly coated.
Begin assembling your skewers. Alternate chicken, onion, and then orange, including about 3 orange pieces per skewer. This recipe should yield approximately 8 large skewers. So, I would say the recipe serves 3-4 people, depending on how hungry you are!
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked all the way through and the onion is slightly softened. This should take about 15-18 minutes. Remove the skewers from the grill, and serve immediately.
