Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and the smoked sausage into 1-inch thick slices.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, and slice the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half for basting. Seal the bag (if using) and mix to coat the chicken thoroughly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble the kebabs by threading chicken, sausage, bell peppers, and zucchini onto the skewers in an alternating pattern. Repeat until all ingredients are used up.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
