Ingredients
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 and Extras
- 2 large onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 4 sweet bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir well to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are fully coated and submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse the chicken. Longer marinating will deepen the flavor.
- Preheat the grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to high heat to ensure a good sear on the kabobs.
- Prepare the skewers: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any leftover marinade. Thread the chicken pieces alternately with onion and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers.
- Oil the grill grate: Lightly brush the grill grate with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve: Remove kabobs from the grill and serve immediately, either on the skewers or plated.
Notes
- Using boneless skinless chicken breasts ensures quick cooking and tender meat.
- Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling prevents them from burning.
- You can substitute bell peppers with other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes.
- Marinate for longer than 2 hours for a more intense honey garlic flavor.
- Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
