Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Kabobs

red onion
zucchini
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
honey
garlic
dried oregano
salt
black pepper

You’ll also need wooden or metal skewers to make the kabobs.

How to make Grilled Chicken Kabobs

To start, you will need to prepare your ingredients. Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and chop up some bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces.

You’ll also need some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Next, you’ll want to whisk together the marinade in a small bowl.

Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper, and whisk everything together until well combined.

This marinade is what will give the chicken and veggies their delicious flavor and help keep them moist while grilling.

Once you have your marinade ready, it’s time to assemble your kabobs.

Thread the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto skewers, alternating between the different ingredients.

You can use any type of skewer you prefer, but metal or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling work well to prevent them from burning.

After assembling the kabobs, brush them generously with the marinade, and coat all sides. This step is crucial to ensure that the kabobs are flavorful and juicy.

Next, it’s time to grill the kabobs. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the kabobs directly on the grates.

Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are charred and tender.

Finally, remove the kabobs from the grill and serve them hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or a salad.

You can also garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if you wish.

How to store Grilled Chicken Kabobs

Grilled Chicken Kabobs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Here are some tips for storing them:

Refrigerator storage: Allow the kabobs to cool down to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container or plastic wrap.

You can keep the chicken and veggies on the skewers or remove them if you prefer. The kabobs should be stored in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C).

When reheating, make sure to heat them until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Freezer storage: If you want to freeze the kabobs, it’s best to do so before grilling them.

Assemble the kabobs as you would normally, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Place the wrapped kabobs in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

To thaw, simply transfer the kabobs to the refrigerator and let them defrost overnight.

Then, grill the kabobs as you normally would, making sure the chicken is heated all the way through before serving.

There you have it, a tasty recipe for Grilled Chicken Kabobs that’s easy to make and fun to eat. So fire up your grill or oven, get your skewers ready, and try this recipe!
