As you are reading this, please keep an open mind, O.K? Occasionally here on Platter Talk we have what is called confession time. Here’s today’s confession: These were the first kebabs that I’ve made. Ever. Second Confession: They were among the best I’ve tasted. Ever.

I’ve articulated pretty clearly in the past that I enjoy a good challenge. Our friends over at The Daily Meal asked us to make something skewered. I wanted it to have good curb appeal, be fast and uncomplicated, and most of all, have great flavor. As it turns out, these Chicken Caesar Kebabs meet all those criteria. And more.

Versatile and easy, these Chicken Caesar Kebabs can be enjoyed hot off the grill or as a cool lunch sandwiched between some grilled bread and wrapped in luscious hearts of crunchy green romaine lettuce. Their virtues don’t end there, however. I put this meal together for somewhere between $10 and $12; it was more than enough to provide four servings. Where else can you get a meal like this for just a few bucks per serving? Please let me know. Lastly, I’m a working man. Scott is a working man. We have a bunch of growing boys and a rambunctious chilhuahua named Buddy Guy. We don’t have the luxury of oodles and oodles of spare time on our hands. After a full day on the job I came home and put this together in well under 30 minutes, using just one mixing bowl. How do you spell winner? Chicken Caesar Kebabs. Yes, I felt the victor with this creation and this challenge from The Daily Meal.

Lastly, this meal allowed me to put our grill to good use for something other than the usual burgers and dogs. Our grilling season is unnaturally short here in Wisconsin, perhaps I need to commit to firing up our back patio grill at least once a week until snow flies – which will be all too soon.
