Chicken Sausage Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine first five ingredients; add chicken and sausage. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate 1 hour. , Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high 6-8 minutes or until almost tender, stirring twice. , Drain and discard marinade. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread chicken, potatoes, sausage and pineapple. Grill, covered, over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until chicken juices run clear, turning frequently. Serve with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; mist with cooking spray. Add the sausage; cook, turning 2 or 3 times, until warmed through and browned, about 8 minutes.
• Thread 1 small or 1/2 large basil leaf onto a small wooden skewer. Add a piece of roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomato, artichoke and sausage, arranging them on the skewer so that it can stand up on the sausage end. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make about two-dozen skewers.

Steps:

• Make Rosemary-Garlic Oil by heating olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until garlic starts to bubble steadily, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. You can make this up to 5 days in advance. Store, covered, in refrigerator.
• Up to one day ahead and at least a couple of hours before serving, toss chicken in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of Rosemary-Garlic Oil, 1 teaspoons fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper.
• Divide 1/2 cup of Rosemary-Garlic Oil into 2 small bowls (one for grilling, one fore serving). Alternately thread three pieces of sausage, three pieces of chicken, and four sage leaves onto six 12" metal skewers (or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 1/2 hour).
• Grill the skewers, covered, until one side is browned and has good grill marks, about 4 minutes. Brush with some of the rosemary-garlic oil, flip and cook the other side until it, too, has good grill marks, about 4 minutes. Brush with more oil and flip again. COntinue cooking, flipping, and brushing with oil until the sausage and chicken are both cooked through but not overdone (check by slicing into a couple of the thicker pieces), about another 10 minutes.
• Let cool for a couple of minutes and then arrange on a platter, drizzle on the remaining oil, and set out for guests to serve themselves.

Steps:

• Start a gas or charcoal grill (or preheat the broiler); the fire should be moderately hot. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover while you prepare the food. Using 8 skewers, alternate the ingredients, but generally, surround both chicken and sausage with the moister lemon and eggplant. Pack the food fairly tightly together on each skewer, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you're not using rosemary skewers, tuck some rosemary among the chicken and vegetables.
• Grill over moderate heat, covered or not, turning the skewers 3 or 4 times to brown evenly. Total cooking time will be 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill and the distance from the heat source. When the chicken and sausage are browned, the eggplant will be tender; do not overcook.
• Serve, squeezing hot lemon juice over all.

Steps:

• Mix dressing, sage and garlic. Reserve 1/3 cup dressing mixture. Pour remaining dressing mixture over chicken in shallow dish; turn to coat both sides of each piece. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken alternately onto skewers with sausage and onions.
• Grill 12 to 14 min. or until chicken and sausage are done (165ºF), turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved dressing mixture.
