Blue Moon Chicken Kebabs

Hello again!  As promised, we've got a stellar recipe for Blue Moon chicken kebabs.  Check out the recipe!

This yields approximately 4 good sized kebabs, and takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.




INGREDIENTS
  • About a pound of chicken (3 breast fillets), cubed
  • 2 oranges, sliced (plus a small amount of zest from one)
  • 1/2 bottle of Blue Moon Belgian White
  • 1/2 cup of orange juice
  • a healthy pinch of each of the following:  salt, pepper, coriander, thyme, and garlic)



PROCEDURE

We first cubed and pre-cooked our chicken, so as not to burn the oranges on the grill.  Then, we mixed the Blue Moon, orange juice, zest, and spices to make our "marinade" (is it a marinade if we're not applying it until after it's started cooking??) in a large bowl.  We sat the mostly-cooked chicken in the beer mixture for about 10 minutes, while I cut oranges to an appropriate size.  Aaron taught me how to cut oranges to the "blue moon" standard...  Next, we assembled the kebabs, alternating between orange slices and chicken pieces.  Aaron laid them on the grill, and applied another quick dusting of the spices.  We rotated and checked the kebabs periodically, and took them off after the oranges had a nice grill mark.  I'd say it was about 2-3 minutes for each one, since we had already cooked the chicken most of the way through.


Aaron's favorite part is having an excuse to drink Blue Moon!  ... and his "grilling hat"
