Here is a recipe I created for Dannon:
Spring Onion Kebabs
Ingredients
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken
(breasts, thighs or combination)
1 bunch of green onions, 6 – 10 total
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup Dannon® All Natural Plain
Yogurt
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 bamboo skewers
Instructions
1. Cut chicken roughly into 1 ½-inch chunks.
2. Chop the bottom 1/3 of the green onions that is white and pale green, to get 1/4 cup. Place the chopped green onions, salt, pepper, yogurt and oil into the blender and blend on high until smooth.
3. Place chicken in a zip lock plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours. Cut the rest of the green onion tops into 1-inch pieces.
4. Meanwhile, soak 4 bamboo skewers in water while chicken is marinating.
5. Preheat broiler. Onto the skewers, thread the chicken, alternating with green onion. Broil chicken 3 inches from heat. Flip the skewers after they have cooked for about five minutes. Cook until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Do not overcook.
Yield: 4 servings

I love kebabs! I don't know why eating food on a stick is so much fun, but it is. The best kebabs I ever had were in Istanbul, the meat sizzled on the outside but was juicy on the inside. Luckily kebabs are easy to make at home even for those like...

This recipe was really nice; it didn't have a particularly strong flavor, but it was a very...warm, comforting dish. A hint of citrus from the tomatillos. It worked equally well with tortillas, which is how I ate my leftover's the next two days. ...

Oh, I know. It's been ages. But I've been positively exhausted, and actively avoiding anything cooking-related. But, new week, time to get back to normal. Matt's always liked jerk seasoning. I've never tasted it. I found a recipe...
