Prep Time: 90 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Yield: 4 portions
Chicken & Grape Skewers
- 1 Lb boneless skinless Chicken breasts, cut into 1” cubes
- 12 – 16 large Red Grapes
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh Marjoram
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh Oregano
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
- freshly ground Black Peppercorns to taste
- Maldon Sea Salt (large crystal Sea Salt) for finishing
- 1 Lemon cut into wedges to garnish
Place cubed chicken in a clean bowl.
Pick grapes from stems, wash and place in a separate clean bowl.
Mix together herbs, olive oil, salt & pepper in a third bowl and let sit for a couple minutes. Divide herb marinade between respective chicken and grape bowls, mix gently until evenly dressed, cover and refrigerate for 1 hr.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Assemble 12” metal skewers by alternating chicken and grapes, then grill on medium heat for about 15-20 min until juices run clear and internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F. The grapes should remain intact and be just on the verge of bursting.
Once all the skewers are cooked, transfer to a platter and sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt. Serve with lemon wedges and White Grape BBQ Sauce (below)
White Grape BBQ Sauce
- ½ C Green Grapes
- 1 Tsp diced Jalapeño Pepper
- 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
