Atkins Chicken Recipes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp thyme, dried
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lb chicken thighs, bnls, sknls, 1.5in pieces

Instructions:

A simple marinade makes chicken thighs tender and tasty. If you wish, add
red bell pepper pieces, zucchini or mushrooms to the skewers.

1. Mix oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper in a
medium bowl and add chicken. Mix to coat pieces. Cover and marinate in
refrigerator at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

2. Prepare grill for barbecue or preheat broiler. Drain marinade into a
small saucepan and boil 3 minutes.

3. Thread chicken pieces onto 8 long metal skewers, leaving 1/4 between
pieces. Grill over medium-hot coals or broil, turning once and brushing
occasionally with marinade*, until tender and cooked through, 10-12
minutes.

4. *Do not brush with uncooked marinade (see step 2).
