Equipment

  • grill pan if grilling on stovetop
  • wood or stainless steel bbq skewers

Ingredients
  

Chicken Kabobs Marinade

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1 inch cube, you may also use skinless boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1 inch size
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch size
  • 1 zucchini cut into 1 inch size
  • 1 red onion cut into 1 inch size
  • fresh parsley chopped, to sprinkle

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade by combining the oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade. Make sure to coat the chicken well with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for 1 hour or more. (Do not add the veggies on the marinade, they'll get soggy and make the mixture watery).
  • If using wood skewers, prepare the wood skewers and the grill. Soak the wood skewers in water for 20 minutes or so to make it easier to insert the chicken.
  • Thread the chicken and vegetables alternately into the wood skewers. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes each side using any cooking options below.
  • Cooking Options:
    Outdoor Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers directly on the grates and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely charred.
    Stovetop Grill Pan: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with oil. Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning them now and then until the chicken is tender and has grill marks.
    Oven Broiler: If you prefer using the oven, switch to the broiler setting. Arrange the skewers on a sheet pan in a single layer, drizzle with oil, and broil until golden and cooked through (10-12 minutes). Flip from time to time.
  • While cooking, you can brush some of the marinade to the skewers. Sprinkle with parsley when ready to serve.
