Fourth of July is only a day away! Most people fire up the grill and cook-out for the patriotic holiday. Today’s recipe for “Mediterranean Chicken Kabobs” is a perfect healthier alternative to the typically served items like hamburgers and hotdogs.
For maximum flavor I recommend to marinate the chicken pieces overnight or for at least 4-6 hours. For a more char-grilled flavor cook on an outdoor grill, however you could certainly cook them on an indoor grill (such as a George Foreman Grill) or oven. The outcome our delicious mediterranean flavored moist chicken pieces!
We served these delicious chicken kabobs a few weeks ago at a World Cup party. For the Germany vs. Ghana game we hosted a German food-themed party. Given our love for German food and German family history we were determined to host an authentic German style event.
I searched the Atlanta metro area for the perfect bakery that made authentic German-styled pretzels. Luckily I stumbled across Bernhard’s Bread Bakery in Marietta, Georgia. While I was picking up the pretzels I discovered a full blown German food store and decided to also pick up some traditional Bratwurst. We dusted the pretzels with large salt granules and served them with a spicy mustard we picked up during our last trip to Germany. Interestingly the mustard comes in a toothpaste shaped container. We boiled the Bratwurst in beer and onions and then threw them on the grill. To complete the German meal I made this authentic Potato Salad Recipe from Food Network. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics!!
The food turned out to be delicious! Our guests loved the authentic German themed fare. Especially they munched on the pretzels all day long. Octoberfest party we are ready!
Enjoy!
