    Tasty food comes in all shapes and sizes, but one thing is for sure, everything is just better when served on a stick. It gains a fun factor; who doesn’t love chicken kabobs?

    Out of all the different types of kabobs, those with chicken meat and vegetables are extra fun; they’re the king of kabobs because they’re as colorful as they are tasty. At least the ones we’re making today. Food’s flavor is essential, of course, but looks matter too.

    Today we’re making beautifully grilled chicken kabobs, but before we start, let me tell you why you want to cook these.

    Kabobs are an ideal meal for large parties like the 4th of July or game day, for when the family comes over, or for when you put together an outdoor lunch with friends. They are also perfect for camping and any outdoor get-togethers. Place a pile of kabobs center table and see everyone dig in!

    Ingredients for the Juiciest Chicken Kabobs

    Now, let’s talk about this chicken kabobs recipe. We’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1-inch chunks. You can also use boneless thighs if you want your kabobs to be a bit heartier and fattier. I prefer lean chicken but see what works for you.

    Then we have the vegetables: red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. All are cut into 1-inch segments. We’ll be alternating the chicken with the veggies for a gorgeous rainbow effect.

    So far, this is a pretty standard kabob recipe, but the real secret is the marinade — it takes these kabobs to new pleasurable heights!

    We’ll combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and a few pinches of salt and pepper in a bowl. We’re marinating not only the chicken but the veggies as well (that’s my secret). Leave out the zucchini though as they will make the mixture watery.

    Then you have to let your mixture set for about an hour in the fridge, although you can leave it overnight for a more intense flavor. Make certain everything is nicely soaked and cover your bowl very well.

    The result is tender and juicy glazed chicken kabobs with a sweet, salty, and tangy flavor that’s just hard to resist.

    I like to sprinkle a fistful of coarsely chopped parsley over my kabobs for a bright presentation, but they’re nice-looking enough already! I love adding some green to the dish too.

    If using the oven for this chicken kabobs recipe, use the broiler option. Place the skewers in a single layer in a sheet pan, drizzle with oil, and broil according to the desired doneness (5-10 minutes). Flip from time to time.

    How to Easily Thread the Meat into the Skewers?

    You can either use stainless steel skewer sticks (affiliate link) or bamboo skewers (affiliate link). If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak the sticks in a container with cold water for 20-30 minutes for easy threading.

    What to Eat with Chicken Kabobs?

    Now for the side dishes. Kabobs are the stars of the show, but you could serve some fun side dishes to complement your meal.

    Garlic herb grilled potatoes are a nice starch that goes pretty well with chicken kabobs, or you can try serving them with mashed sweet potatoes.

    Finally, to add some more color, you can always make easy guacamole with mashed avocados, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and a lime drizzle. The sky’s the limit!

    Now we’re ready to cook, so get your ingredients ready along with a large mixing bowl, and a fair amount of skewer sticks, and start heating up that grill!
