52 New Recipes | Herb-Marinated Kebabs

Amazon links are affiliate links.

This week, I tried a marinated chicken kebab recipe from my ATK Quick Family Cookbook.

Happily, this used up the last of my cilantro and parsley, plus some chicken thighs that had been hanging out in my freezer.

And it used a zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion that came in my Hungry Harvest box.

So, it was a big win on the using-things-up front.

However, on the flavor front, I felt just kind of eh about the chicken, even though I marinated it for several hours.

I part of the problem is that I prefer chicken breasts for kebabs.

But I also just think something like these chipotle chicken kebabs taste more interesting, and I like that those have a dipping sauce as well.

The veggies were really good with the marinade, though, so maybe I’ll use that part of the recipe again.

The recipe called for grilling some bread, but I just made some garlic breadsticks instead.

Next Week’s Recipe

I think I’m going to try a recipe for Carnitas, from my ATK Mexican recipe book.

Which means I need to see if I can find a pork butt roast on sale somewhere, as I have none in my freezer. Hmm..

How about you?

What new recipe did you try this week? And what do you hope to try next week?

    We have a Weber 3-burner gas grill that we bought in the early 2000s. It's still going strong!

    No new recipes here but hubby does not like to cook from scratch but I appreciate if he gets something ready for dinner. I bought the Aldi frozen bagged chicken fried rice (there are only a couple pieces of chicken in the bag) but he made it and claimed it was the best fried rice he ever had...much better than my homemade...ha ha ha that's ok. It was pretty good but does not go far. Added chicken and more rice but it's quick!

    I tried a new barbacoa recipe and it was a flop. Probably because it wasn't true barbacoa but a Chipotle copycat recipe...oh well. As someone said above, you win some and you lose some :)
