Recipe Box
Marinated Chicken, Pearl Onion, and Bread Kebabs

Serves 4
You could precede the chicken with the Baby Lettuces with Taleggio Croquettes (see recipe) or a large tomato salad.

Ingredients
16 to 20 red or white pearl onions
5 Tbsp. (75 mL) combined, chopped fresh sage, oregano, and thyme or rosemary
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) lemon juice
generous ½ cup (120 mL) olive oil

3 to 4 deboned, skinned chicken breasts, cut into 1½ -inch (3.8-cm) cubes
16 1- to 1½ -inch (2.5- to 3.8-cm) cubes of Calabrese (see recipe) or any other dense, white bread
5 to 6 stalks fresh rosemary, thyme (or a combination of both)
salt and freshly ground white pepper



Instructions
Put the onions, with the skins on, in boiling water for about 3 minutes, or until just barely cooked. Drain and cool, and then remove the skins.

In a shallow bowl large enough to hold the chicken pieces, mix together the chopped herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Marinate the chicken at room temperature in this mixture for half an hour to an hour, or, alternatively, in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Return to room temperature.
Using 4 metal or water-soaked bamboo skewers, make the kebabs, alternating the chicken, pearl onions, and bread cubes. Insert sprigs of the stalks of rosemary or thyme between the other ingredients. Brush each kebab with the marinade, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Briefly sear the kebabs on a hot grill, turning very gently, then place them on a pan and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
