Tomato & Cilantro Marinated Chicken Kebabs

If you eat chicken at least five nights a week like I do, you're always looking for new ways to spice it up. This is a very simple dish to make, that turns out some tasty chicken, great for mid-week dinners. You do have to plan ahead a little, getting some ingredients for the marinade during your weekly shopping, and you need to marinate the night before.. but it'll be worth it!

Ingredients:
2 small plum tomatoes or 1 large regular tomato, grated on a box grater (large holes on cheese grater)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 lbs. boneless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces
Some kebab skewers and a grill

Steps:
1. In a large bowl, combine the grated tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and cilantro.

2. Add in the chicken and coat it thoroughly.

3. Cover it in a container or zip lock bag and let it marinade over night.


4. The next night, thread your chicken on some metal skewers or wood skewers (soak the wood skewers in water to help prevent them from catching fire.), leaving some space between each piece of chicken when possible.

5. Brush the kebabs with a little olive oil and add some salt and pepper to your liking.

6. Grill over Medium-High heat, turning every few minutes, for about 15 minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through.

Simple as that! Server with some Pita or Naan from the store, maybe some hummus and tabouli, and you have yourself a really nice mid-week treat!
