1 Video | Photo: Spiced Chicken and Grape Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 8 (10-inch) skewers
- 1 1/2 cups seedless green grapes
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, soak the skewers in water if wooden.
Thread 4 pieces of the chicken and 4 grapes onto the skewers, alternating them. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat, or prepare an outdoor grill. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with mint and serve with lemon wedges.

Wonderful. I also used the same marinade for pressed tofu as we are a flexitarian kitchen. Both husband and I loved the skewers.

One of the best things I have EVER eaten. The spices and lemon worked perfectly with the chicken and grapes. I didn't have a grill, so I used the oven instead. The chicken came out of the oven tender and flavorful, and the grapes were huge, juicy, and bursting with flavor. My family loved it, even the kids, and they all keep asking me to make it again!
