The Spicy Olive’s Chicken Kebobs

Recipe:
CHICKEN KABOBS
6 wood skewers soaked in cold water for 30 minutes
1/2 cup The Spicy Olive’s Barrel Aged Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup The SPicy Olive’s California Cuvee EVOO or other single varietal olive oil
2 ½ teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in cubes
1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
2 small zucchini cut into 1 inch slices
1 red onion cut into 1 inch pieces (optional)
8 -10 Cremini or white mushrooms sliced in halves
Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, EVOO, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a bowl and pour 1 cup of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag, add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours. Store the remainder ½ cup in a glass container (this you will use to brush onto meat and veggies when grilling) . Preheat grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain and discard marinade. Thread chicken, peppers, onions, zucchini and mushrooms onto skewers alternately. Grill kabobs on the preheated grill until chicken has no pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side (total time about 15 min.). Brush marinade onto veggies and chicken every time you turn kabobs on grill.
Baby Back Ribs

The Spicy Olive’s Baby Back Ribs

This is one of my favorite ways to make Baby Back Ribs. I use The Spicy Olive’s Chipotle Olive oil and Mortar and Pestle’s Rhyno Rub to season them. Start them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and then turn the oven down to 200 degrees and let them cook all afternoon. Finish them on the grill and baste them with your  favorite BBQ sauce.

This a perfect recipe to try for summer holidays and parties.

The Spicy Olive’s Sesame Chicken Pasta

This recipe is adapted from “As Old As Time” Cookbook available at The Spicy Olive. We changed up the recipe a bit by adding chicken to make it a main dish instead of a side dish.

If you are vegetarian, leave the chicken out and add more of your favorite vegetables.

This dish is also delicious served cold and great to take to pot locks to share with friends!
