KEBAB TIME

Use the oil to create a protein-packed dish everyone will love. In large bowl, toss 1/3 cup garlic-citrus oil and 72 tsp each kosher salt and pepper with 11/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1/2-in. pieces). Refrigerate 30 min. Thread onto skewers and grill on medium, turning occasionally, 5 min. Continue grilling, basting with 1/3 cup garlic-citrus oil, until cooked through, 5 to 6 min. more.

FLAVOR HACK

You'll boost taste and use less salt when you add a drizzle of blended herbs, fruit, and oil to a dish, thanks to the citrusy notes. That's a win for everything from your heart to your kidneys.
