How You Make the Tahini Chicken & Vegetable Kebabs

1. Preheat grill. If using wooden skewers place in water to soak.
2. Prepare chicken and vegetables in 2 separate bowls so they are ready to be threaded onto skewers.  
3. In a medium bowl, combine the tahini marinade ingredients: tahini, oil, honey, lemon zest and juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Separate the marinade mixture into half, putting half with the chicken and half with the diced vegetables. Mix to combine. If you’re able to let the marinade sit for 1-2 hours, then do so.
5. Thread chicken and one of each vegetable until kebab stick is full. Repeat until all kebabs are done and meat and vegetables are used up.
6. Grill on medium to high heat for 10-12 minutes per side until cooked through.  
7. Serve immediately.
