Ingredients
Scale
For the Kabobs:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 onion, cut into chunks
For the Marinade:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ons:
- Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- Cherry tomatoes, whole
- Pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken cubes in a ziplock bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Toss to coat and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, and any optional add-ons (like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or pineapple) onto skewers.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Serve: Serve hot with rice, salad, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Cut all ingredients to a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers make a great wrap or rice bowl filling.
