Prosciutto-wrapped chicken kebabs are a delightful and savory dish perfect for grilling season. Tender pieces of chicken breast are seasoned and wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, which adds a rich, salty flavor as it crisps up during grilling. Skewered along with fresh vegetables, these kebabs offer a balanced mix of protein and vibrant produce. The prosciutto keeps the chicken moist while imparting its distinctive taste, resulting in juicy, flavorful bites. Prosciutto-wrapped chicken kebabs are a crowd-pleaser, ideal for summer barbecues or casual weeknight dinners, combining elegance and simplicity in every skewer.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Kebabs
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 24 pieces (about 1 1/2 inches each)
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp white or red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 ounces Fontina cheese, cut into 24 cubes (about 1/2 inch each)
- 24 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the chicken with the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt in a large bowl. Place a cheese cube on a piece of chicken and wrap tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Repeat with the remaining cheese, chicken and prosciutto.
- Thread the chicken bundles onto eight 10-inch skewers along with the tomatoes. Grill the kebabs, covered, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
