It’s the beginning of a new year and healthy eating is on the minds of many. If you’re looking for a new healthy recipe that’s also amazingly flavorful, then you have to try these Mediterranean Chicken Skewers!
To make these chicken skewers, I headed to my local Vons and grabbed an assortment of O Organics® products. From hummus to chicken, and olive oil to spinach, O Organics products, available in my area exclusively at Vons, make it easy and affordable to eat organic in the new year.
I always keep my fridge loaded up with O Organics hummus for healthy snacking. The flavor of the different varieties of hummus is fantastic and perfect for dipping up with carrots or celery as an afternoon snack!
I combined the fresh spinach with a variety of spices, fresh lemon juice and olive oil to create a scrumptious marinade for these Mediterranean Chicken Skewers.
I then grilled the skewers and served them with a variety of O Organics Hummus flavors. You can scoop the hummus right over the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping.
The flavor of the chicken is so delicious and I love it paired with the roasted garlic hummus!
You can serve the skewers by themselves as a snack or party app, pair them with rice or a spinach salad for dinner, or wrap the Mediterranean chicken up in pita bread with hummus, spinach and tomatoes for a delicious lunch! I’ve already made this recipe twice this week and eaten it each way!
