Kebabs:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups (1/2-inch-thick) slices zucchini, each halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
Raita:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup grated fresh sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

1
To prepare the kebabs, combine the first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Add onion and zucchini to bag; toss well.
2
Prepare grill.
3
Remove chicken and onion mixture from bag; discard marinade. Thread chicken, onion, and zucchini alternately onto each of 8 (12-inch) skewers. Sprinkle kebabs evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place kebabs on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 10 minutes or until chicken is done, turning occasionally.
4
To prepare raita, combine yogurt and remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Cover and chill. Serve with the kebabs.

Wine note: Onion is such a piquant, dominant flavor that it often makes wines taste hollow or dull. But sweet onions such as Vidalia or Maui pair wonderfully with a fresh, bold, well-chilled white wine. Given the mint and lemon in this dish, I would go for a lively sauvignon blanc. Many California sauvignon blancs have citrus and mint flavors, mirroring the flavors precisely, and the wine is dramatic enough to stand up to the flavor of onions. A great bet: Raymond Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2005 Napa Valley, California ($14). --Karen MacNeil
