Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to marinate (or up to 4 hours for more flavor, if time allows).
While the chicken marinates, cut the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables for variety and even cooking.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and allow them to rest for 2–3 minutes.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as rice, salad, or bread.
