Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates using olive oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper pieces, and onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for variety. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
