Chicken Kabobs
Easy-to-make chicken kabobs featuring tender chicken and colorful vegetables marinated for delicious flavor.
Ingredients
For the Kabobs
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large orange bell pepper, diced
For the Marinade
- 1/3 cup olive oil adds moisture and flavor
- 1/4 cup soy sauce provides saltiness and depth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice adds brightness
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar for a touch of sweetness
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar contributes richness
- 2 cloves garlic, minced adds aromatic flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, aiming for pieces that are uniform in size.
- In a reusable container, whisk together the marinade ingredients: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Assemble the kabobs by skewering the marinated chicken and sliced vegetables in an alternating pattern.
- Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, monitoring until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate as long as possible for deeper flavor. Pre-soak wooden skewers in water before using to prevent them from burning.
