Offering incredible flavor and health benefits, Grilled Rosemary Chicken Kabobs are the perfect meal choice for health conscious people. Chicken is high in protein and low in fats, chicken is rich in selenium (which helps reduce the risk of developing arthritis later in life), and chicken offers a very good source of vitamin B6 (which helps in the production of insulin, white and red blood cells, and neurotransmitters, just to name a few). And grilling has health benefits as well. The high heat from the grill helps seal in moisture and keep chicken tender, and when grilling, fats drip off the food, which means less fat in the food when it reaches the plate.
Whether you’re grilling for yourself (for multiple meals) or for a party, this kabob wows taste buds.
