What's cookin' at the Macdonald house tonight?!!

This is from one of my favorite recipe blogs: favfamilyrecipes.blogspot.com

It looks so good to me. I hope it tastes a good as it looks!

Low Fat Lemon Chicken Kabobs

2 Lbs chicken, cubed
green peppers, cut into pieces
red onion, cut into pieces

Marindade:
4-5 Tbsps olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
5-6 Tbsp. soy sauce (or to taste)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
black pepper to taste (at least 1/2 tsp)

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Put chicken in a large Ziploc bag and pour in marinade (adding more lemon or soysauce if needed). Press all the air out of the bag and then seal. Place bag in a bowl and refrigerate overnight. About 30 minutes prior to serving. Alternate chicken, peppers, and onion on skewers (if you are using wood skewers-- remember to soak them in water for at least an hour). You can either grill the kabobs -- OR you can put them in the oven at 375-degrees for 25-30 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through)-- turning half-way through. Serve with lemon rice.

Easy Lemon Rice

This tastes great with the Low Fat Lemon Chicken Kabobs...or any Indian/Greek-type recipe!

3 c. plain white rice, cooked
3 Tbsp. olive oil
juice of 2 lemons
lemon zest, to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pinch ginger
1/2 tsp. pepper
salt (to taste)
cilantro, chopped (optional)

After the rice is cooked, combine remaining ingredients and pour slowly over rice while fluffing with a fork. Add more lemon juice a little at a time if needed.
