- Served Person: Makes 4 servings
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- coarsely ground black pepper
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 orange, juiced, plus zest
- 1 lemon, juiced, plus zest
- 1 lime, juiced, plus zest
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (16 pieces)
- 1 red onion, halved, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 2 large zucchini, halved, cut into eighths
- 2 yellow squash, halved, cut into eighths
- 5 cups arugula (or other salad greens)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Preparation If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 20 minutes. Whisk first 5 ingredients and 1/4 cup oil in a bowl. Add chicken, arranging to make sure liquid covers all pieces. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate 1 hour. Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup oil and vinegar and brush liberally on vegetables; reserve remaining liquid to use as salad dressing. On a wooden or metal skewer, thread (in any order you like) a piece each of onion, zucchini, chicken and squash, then repeat for remaining skewers. Season with pepper. Coat grill with cooking spray. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Cook kebabs about 7 1/2 minutes per side or until chicken is firm and cooked through. Toss greens with remaining oil and vinegar mixture. Add salt and pepper. Divide greens among 4 plates. Place 2 kebabs on each plate. Garnish with tomatoes and serve immediately.
