These dill pickles from the refrigerator have a deliciously crisp flavor and are well seasoned with dill and garlic. After only three days, they are absolutely crisp and edible. They should stay fresh for around 6 weeks, whether you serve them with hot dogs or hamburgers or just eat them as a snack. Use cucumber slices rather than spears if you prefer pickle chips.

Made as recipe reads…marinated chicken and veggies separately for 6 hours…if you use mushrooms then only marinate them for last 30 minutes
This will simple and nice enough. I think marinating longer would help the flavour soak in more (I only marinated the min 2 hours recommended). I used cherry tomatoes and mushrooms instead of bell pepper and onions due to personal preference. Very versatile recipe, can use whatever veg you like.
Very good! Added fresh lemon thyme and stuck a few wedges of lemon on the skewers but total fine just as they are
Delicious – though I added 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper, 2 minced garlic gloves and some ginger to the marinade. I let marinade for about 6 hours and the flavor was fantastic. I cooked the chicken and the veggies on separate skewers; brushing both with the extra marinade as they were grilling. I served with boxed CousCous.
I loved the flavor. I added cherry tomatoes and pineapple chunks, but didn’t marinade the pineapple. I mistakenly took chicken tenderloins out of the freezer instead of breasts, but it worked out fine, after cutting the chicken into size, I just put 2 pieces instead of one inch cube. They actually cooked quicker than a single 1″ chunk would, so the chicken and veggies/fruit was done at the same time. I’ll do it this way again. Yum!
Bland. I added chipotle pepper flakes, more pepper and a bit of salt and it was still blah. I have a recipe with balsamic vinegar that is much better, guess I’ll go back to it.
I pounded out the chicken before I cut it up. I doubled the recipe. I added Zuchinni and mushrooms. The kabobs were a big hit and were eaten faster than grilled lemon pepper shrimp.
Really simple and super easy to make. I only marinated the chicken. Added red pepper flakes and extra garlic.
Fantastic, easy and delicious! Can you be more specific in how much chicken (in ounces or grams)?
This is one of our favorite marinates. I usually add shrimp and fresh mushrooms to the mix as well. Works well under the broiler too if you don’t have access to a grill.
This recipe is great! Instead of grilling the chicken kabob style, I cook it in a pan, making sure to get a good sear on the outside. I serve it one of two ways… either with fried rice with eggs & peas or inside of Greek style wraps with fries, shredded cheese and mustard (tastes so much like Athens street food!). Both ways are awesome! It’s been a family favorite for years.
Followed this recipe nearly exact (added in some chili oil and some garlic chili paste into the marinade) and it came out delicious. If you don’t feel like grilling it, it bakes perfectly in the oven, just put it under 400 F for about half an hour, stirring during the midpoint, and under broil to get that nice bit of char afterwards.
We all liked this recipe but felt it also needed a little more flavor. We added freshly grated ginger and minced garlic to the marinade. We made more marinade than recommended to base with. On our second attempt, we separated the chicken from the veggies and it worked well. We recommend this highly. Family is very content with this new marinade.
DElISH!
I haven’t made yet..I will after I print this receipt..
Absolutely delicious and sooo easy to make. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I made the marinade in a gallon ziplock then added the chopped veggies and chicken to it, zipped it, tossed it and refrigerated everything for 2 hrs. I soaked the skewers like recommended but it didn’t keep the skewers from burning on the ends but no big deal. I will definitely make these again. Maybe even make beef ones as well.
Simple and delicious! I used zucchini, red onion & capsicum. Marinated only the chicken & onion. Chicken turned out very tender & vegetables added some bite & freshness
It’s very nice
We couldn’t find the skewers so we grilled it still in the marinade and added some time. On the grill in the deep pan for 35 min was 5 min to long for perfection. Still good.
Added mushrooms to the skewers and it was delicious overall. Had to adapt the recipe a little to scale it down but it made plenty of food for us.
This is the second time I’ve made this and it doesn’t disappoint. I meant to add pineapple but forgot!! Ugh!! I definitely won’t next time. We decided the first time we would never buy the prepackaged kabobs again! Great recipe!!
