This heartburn-friendly broiled chicken kabobs recipe is easy and takes all of 35 minutes to prepare from start to finish. An added plus is that it is low in fat.

Since too much fat in a dish can actually cause heartburn, a recipe that is low fat is more likely to lessen your chances of having heartburn. So now you can indulge your passion for kabobs without fear.

This recipe calls for wooden skewers that have been soaked, but some kabob pundits prefer to use metal skewers to prevent the chance of the wood splintering into the food. The choice is yours. In either case, lightly coat the skewers with a little olive oil before using. Your food will slide much more easily onto them.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil

Stir 4 cups zucchini pieces and 3 cups button mushrooms into the bowl of the chicken mixture until well coated.

Fun Fast Facts About Kabobs

A shish kebab is a skewer of grilled meat (lamb, beef, fish or chicken, and pork in some cultures) with vegetables like green peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Whether it's spelled kabob, kebab, kebob or kebap, the word (literally meaning "skewer"), comes from Turkish and was popular with Asian soldiers, who roasted meats on their sword blades.
In the Middle East, kabobs are not always prepared on a skewer and do not always consist of cubed meat and veggies.
