Chili lime chicken kabob grain bowls
Chili lime chicken kabobs are grilled to perfection and served in a bowl with chewy farro, roasted peppers and onions, and topped with a creamy, smoky adobo sauce!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the bowls:
- 2 packages Johnsonville Sweet Chili Lime chicken kabobs
- 1 small red onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks or 6-8 small sweet peppers (any color or a mix)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 (8.8 oz.) package quick-cooking farro
- Kosher salt and black pepper
For the creamy adobo sauce:
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2-3 teaspoons adobo sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium.
- Grill the chicken kabobs according to the package directions.
- At the same time, grill the onion and peppers, turning occasionally so they are browned all over and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cook the farro according to package directions.
- To make the sauce, combine Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons of adobo sauce, lime juice and salt in a small bowl. Stir well to combine then taste and adjust seasonings, adding the remaining teaspoon of adobo sauce if desired.

Notes
Grilling: You can use a grill basket to hold the veggies or thread them on their own kabobs. (Make sure to soak the sticks in water so they don't burn!) You can also put them on a piece of aluminum foil. Alternatively, if you are roasting the kabobs in the oven (the package has directions), you can roast the onions and peppers on a separate sheet pan at the same time.
Farro: You can substitute brown rice, quinoa or whole wheat couscous for the farro if you prefer.
Greek yogurt: I use non-fat plain Greek yogurt. You could also substitute sour cream if you prefer.
Adobo sauce: Start with two teaspoons of adobo sauce and taste your sauce. Add a third teaspoon if you want a little more heat.
Adobo sauce is a dark red, tangy sauce made from ground chiles, herbs and vinegar. I buy a small can of chipotle chiles packed in adobo sauce (found near other Mexican foods in your grocery store). The chilies and extra sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen to have on hand for another recipe.
