Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken breast or beef sirloin
- 1 Yellow bell pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Red onion
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Bourbon
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast or beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the yellow and red bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the meat cubes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, bourbon, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the meat cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or glass container, pour half of the marinade over the meat, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
In another container, toss the chopped vegetables with the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours alongside the marinating meat.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil.
Thread the marinated meat and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetable pieces for a colorful presentation.
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The meat should reach an internal temperature of 165°F for chicken or 145°F for beef.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and serve warm.
