Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a mixing bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors develop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Assemble the kabobs by alternating chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces onto the skewers until all ingredients are used.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating to ensure even charring, until the chicken is fully cooked and registers an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm, and enjoy your delicious Motu Picnic Kabobs!
