Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, fresh minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes, crushed
• 1 tablespoon oregano, fresh minced
• 1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 lb. wt. chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 3/4 cups California green seedless grapes, picked from stem and rinsed
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh

Directions

• In small bowl combine olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, rosemary and lemon zest. Whisk together marinade. Cut chicken into 3/4 inch cubes. Alternate chicken and grapes and thread onto 12 skewers. Place skewers into a baking dish or pan large enough to hold them. Pour marinade over skewers, coating each one. Marinate for 4-24 hours. Remove skewers from marinade and let excess oil drip off. Season with salt. Grill on barbecue until chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Arrange on serving platter and drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice.
