Whoa it has been a while since we entered a submission into the competition but here one meal we couldn't pass up on.
Last week our team had a break in the weather and we took advantage of the grill at the picnic area to make up some delicious kebabs.
Tyler and Mason prepped the food:
portobello mushrooms
green, yellow, red peppers
zucchini
yellow squash
yellow onion
broccoli
4 boneless chicken breast
turkey bacon
pineapple
some left over steak and baked potatoes :)
The chicken and some zucchini were marinated in a teryaki sauce with diced garlic. 1/3 of the vegetables were were marinated in teryaki sauce, 1/3 in a mixture of lemon/olive oil/ground black pepper marinade, and 1/3 were left plain.
Charcoal was lighted and it got going pretty quick given a slight breeze feeding it.
The chicken was cut into cubes and kebabs were made by each team member, some heavy on the onions others very colorful.
The left over steak and baked potato were thrown on the grill and were the first to go. The turkey bacon was cooked a bit and then some members decided to wrap it around their chicken on the kebabs.
Pineapple was the desert so we threw it on the grill and had that going the whole time, members were free to take them as they pleased.
1/3 of the mushrooms were marinated and thrown on the grill - we call these mushroom poppers because you can pop them in your mouth once they are ready :)
Overall the meal was very satisfactory and the weather held up, we thank the higher powers for being considerate of our grill day.
Did we mention how many left over veggies we had the next few days :)
We hope to get one more entry in before our season ends and hope that everyone else is coming up with great recipes to share!
Have a great Easter Weekend,
COWP Team
