Greek Chicken Kabobs

I was hungry for Greek food so I found a recipe on kraftfoods.com, made a couple changes and cooked this up. I liked it a lot. I warmed up some whole wheat pita bread and made some low fat tzatziki added some grapes and it was a pretty healthy meal.

Family Review:
Me: Yum.
Husband: It was satisfactory. (He is not a Greek food fan)
5 year old: I'm only eating 4 pieces and no onions.
1 year old: Maaah! (Must mean it was good, she ended up eating more than the 5 year old.)




Greek Chicken Kabobs

1/2 Cup Greek Salad Dressing
2 Tbsp. low fat plain yogurt
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders cut into 1 inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
Skewers (4 12-inch skewers or 8 6-inch skewers)

Put salad dressing and yogurt into a Ziploc bag. Mix together. Add chicken pieces. Squish bag to make sure chicken gets coated. Put in refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate.

After chicken is marinated thread chicken and onion onto skewers and throw away marinade.

Put under broiler for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked.

4 Servings
Servings size: 1 12-inch skewer or 2 6-inch skewers.

Nutrition Info:
(I wasn't sure how to exactly figure the nutrition info for something that is marinated so these are the figures from all the ingredients and then divided by 4 servings. I would guess you don't actually eat 6 grams of fat since you throw most of the dressing and yogurt away after the chicken marinates)

The recipes sound like they would be good, but I have to say my favorite part of the blog are the "reviews" and ratings from the family!
