Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring cups · measuring spoons · metal or wooden skewers (optional) · mixing bowls · stirring spoon · tongs
Directions
- Soak 6–8 wooden skewers in water if you’re using them, and set them aside.
- Rinse and dry all produce, then chop cilantro and parsley leaves; discard stems and finely mince the leaves into a bowl.
- Mince the garlic and add it to the herb bowl.
- Stir olive oil, red wine vinegar, and spices into the herb mixture to make the chimichurri; pour half into a small serving bowl and reserve for later.
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and toss with half of the chimichurri until evenly coated.
- Prepare the vegetables by cutting the onion into 1-inch pieces, seeding and chunky chopping the pepper, halving the zucchini lengthwise and slicing into 1-inch pieces, and halving the mushrooms; combine with the remaining onion pieces in a bowl, then add oil, salt, and pepper and toss.
- Thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers or place them directly on the grill or skillet; brush the grill or pan with oil.
- Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the kebabs 4–6 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender; transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil, repeating with the remaining kebabs.
- Serve the kebabs on plates and spoon the remaining chimichurri over the top; enjoy.
Two tips
- Chop the herbs and garlic ahead of time and keep them refrigerated to speed up weeknight cooking.
- Leftover chimichurri can be stored in the fridge for a few days and served as a dipping sauce or drizzle.
