Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 8 (10-inch) skewers
- 1 1/2 cups seedless green grapes
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, soak the skewers in water if wooden.
- Thread 4 pieces of the chicken and 4 grapes onto the skewers, alternating them. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat, or prepare an outdoor grill. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with mint and serve with lemon wedges.

Reviews
Perfect flavors, excellent pairing with grapes!
Very easy and quick to make. Great alternative to the usual kabobs on the grill. Highly recommend.
Delicious, healthy dinner the entire family enjoyed, including my picky eaters. My daughter especially loved the cooked grapes, and got seconds of the entire thing.
We love this recipe, but we made an addition of pearl onions to the skewer with the chicken and grapes. It really adds another dimension to the flavor profile.
We were looking for a light fresh and easy recipe for a grill party…this is definitely it! We loved the aroma and burst of flavor from the chicken and grapes together. Perfect spice combination and makes the chicken super moist. We followed the recipe exactly.. grilled them on the charcoal grill. Thank you for the wonderful impressive kabobs.
These were so good and so easy to make. The marinade is so simple and tastes so good, I will use it with other meats and veggie dishes in the future. I omitted the grapes but added cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions on the skewers.
Super delicious and easy! I love that it’s light and healthy.
Made this for my bookclub, they LOVED it. I made the marinade up in advance and let the chicken sit a few hours. Super easy and light!
Wonderful tasty healthy recipe that I can always count on from Ellie Krieger. My grill pan was a bit small so it was hard to get the chicken completely done so the only thing I’d change is to marinate the chicken cubes then grill them until almost done and then skewer with grapes and grill until grapes are warm. I’m sure it comes out better on a BBQ but the flavor is perfect and it goes well with a nice rice pilaf. Thank you Ellie! You have always been one of my favorite FN personalities.
It was a great recipe, came out quite tasty. I wouldn’t change the spices at all. I did marinate it longer ( agree with panamishe, worked very well. Plus the cooking time a bit more, maybe my grill pan was different so probably why. I also served with a quinoa mix. Strongly recommend. FYI, red grapes work well too, tad sweeter but yummy!
