Delicious, moist and flavorful. I prefer using homemade pesto, but store-bought will do if necessary. This is sure to become a family favorite! Serve with lemon wedges. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO.

Directions

  • Combine chicken pieces, pesto, and lemon juice in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag; seal bag and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

  • Thread chicken, tomatoes, and onion alternately onto skewers. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Preheat Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven to Medium-High on the "Grill" setting.

  • Place the skewers into the grill pan and set the timer for 3 minutes.

  • Turn skewers and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Feel free to substitute other veggies for the tomatoes and red onion, but those are our favorites.

These could be marinated for less time with good results, but for the best flavor marinate the full 24 hours.

How big or small you cut the chicken will affect the cooking time, so adjust accordingly.

Never put cherry tomatoes on Kabobs unless you like little balls of molten lava exploding in your mouth! Also I don't have a Panasonic Counter top Induction Oven. So I had to figure that one out on my own. Otherwise this is a good basic recipe. Read More

This recipe couldn't have been easier and the flavor was fantastic! The chicken was unbelievably tender and pesto gave it a complex flavor. The tomatoes were sweet and the onions still had just the right amount of crunch. I served with brown rice and broccoli but this would be wonderful on a sub roll! Read More

My husband and I loved these! I used only enough pesto to marinade the chicken which wasn't nearly as much as this calls for. I used more chicken and added colored peppers to the mix too. Was delicious! Read More

5 stars all the way! This comes together so quick and is SO tasty! The Panasonic oven grills these kabobs to perfection. Add whatever veggies you like. I added a green bell pepper because I had one that needed used. Mushrooms would be a good addition and mix well with the pesto too. The chicken marinated in pesto is so good that I am convinced you can not go wrong with this recipe regardless of which veggies you choose to use. Excellent! Thanks for sharing Christina! Read More
