Marinade Instructions
- In a large bowl or freezer bag stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, red onion, chives, salt and pepper.

To make the Kabobs
- Cut the marinated chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place onto wooden or metal skewers alternating with lemon slices and chunks of red onion. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill about 5-6 minutes per side. The chicken should be cooked through and have a charred, caramelized sear.
