Description
Savor the taste of grilled chicken kabobs with vibrant vegetables and a flavorful marinade. Perfect for BBQ lovers!
Ingredients
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (use red, green, or yellow for color)
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Skewers (wooden or metal; if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
After marinating, thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
