Rosemary Lemon Chicken Kabobs: How to Make this Juicy and Tasty Chicken

I love a good kabob and these rosemary lemon chicken kabobs are no exception. While rosemary isn’t my favorite go to herb, I will often buy it when I need a pinch and end up with a whole lot left over and wondering what to do with it. And this recipe is perfect for using a bunch of it but not in an overwhelming way. It also gives it that long marinated flavor and pairs really well with the lemon for a well balanced flavor. And as an added bonus, the lemon really keeps the chicken juicy and from drying out.

Rosemary lemon chicken kabobs is also really simple to make. No need to marinate the chicken for very long and then you just arrange the chicken and vegetables on a skewer and grill away. I love an outdoor grill, but that’s not in the cards for me right now living on the second floor, so an indoor grill works fine. The indoor grill is actually growing on me, because it cooks way more evenly than most other grills have used IMO. You could also roast these in the oven. But however you cook them, make them with my crispy oven roasted potatoes because they both use a super similar marinade to make cooking and clean up easy. Plus, they are super delicious together.
