Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, then cut each round in half. Core and cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Assemble the kabobs by threading pieces of chicken, kielbasa, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers. Alternate the ingredients to ensure an even distribution of colors and flavors.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Kielbasa Chicken Kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice or a fresh green salad.
