Garlic - I always use fresh garlic, which beautifully flavors the grilled chicken kabob skewers marinade.
Fresh Lemon Juice - A nice squeeze of fresh lemon juice will add brightness and acid necessary for this recipe.
Olive Oil - Full of luscious, healthy fats, while creating a beautiful rich flavored marinade for the basil sauce.
Basil Leaves - Fresh basil leaves are the key to this delicious basil sauce. Don't skimp on this flavorful ingredient for an out of this world tasty basil sauce that you can pour over everything.
Red Onion - How can you not include red onions on your grilled chicken skewers? This is a must veggie with a bold flavor.
Zucchini - One of my favorite vegetables, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Read more about zucchini here.
Bell Peppers - You will love how these babies roast beautifully when you grill them. The marinade allows the bell peppers to be flavorful, but also get that yummy grilled flavor perfectly from the basil olive oil marinade.
