Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
Vegetables
- 2 large onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 4 sweet bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
- Skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create an even marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor infusion.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high heat, preparing it for cooking the kabobs.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the excess marinade. Thread the chicken cubes alternately with onion and bell pepper pieces onto skewers.
- Oil the Grill Grate: Lightly brush or spray the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve hot, either on the skewers or plated.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken overnight will deepen the flavor even more.
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Substitute vegetables with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
