Ingredients
Chicken
-
Cooking spray -
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 16 1 1/2-inch pieces, all visible fat discarded -
2 large ripe but firm peaches, cut into 16 1-inch wedges -
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 16 1 1/2-inch squares -
1/4 tsp. pepper -
1/8 tsp. salt
Glaze
-
3/4 tsp. grated orange zest -
3 Tbsp. fresh orange juice -
3 Tbsp. chopped, fresh rosemary -
1 1/2 tsp. honey -
1 1/2 tsp. canola oil OR -
1 1/2 teaspoon corn oil
Directions
-
Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium. -
Meanwhile, thread the chicken, peaches, and bell pepper alternately onto four 14- to 16-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle the pepper and salt over the kebabs. -
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Set aside half the glaze (about 2 tablespoons). Brush both sides of the kebabs with the remaining glaze. -
Grill the kebabs for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are almost tender, turning once halfway through and brushing with the reserved 2 tablespoons of glaze, using a clean basting brush. Reduce the heat or move the kebabs to a cooler area of the grill if they are cooking too fast.
Cooking Tip:
Ripe but firm peaches are important for this recipe. The direct heat softens and sweetens the fruit, even if it’s not quite at its prime.
Keep it Healthy: You can replace the peaches with other stone fruits, such as nectarines and plums.
