Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) chicken breast
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large (cut into 1-inch pieces) red bell pepper
- 1 large (cut into 1-inch pieces) green bell pepper
- 1 large (cut into wedges) red onion
- 2 medium (cut into thick slices) zucchini
- 10 pieces (soaked in water for 30 minutes) wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 inches each, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vegetable oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables: cut the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares, the red onion into wedges, and the zucchini into thick slices.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven broiler, set it to high.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion wedges, and zucchini onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful display.
Lightly oil the grill grates or line a baking sheet with aluminum foil if using the broiler.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill or broiler and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, a fresh salad, or grilled pita bread, and enjoy!
