BBQ Chicken Kabobs with Potatoes and Summer Squash image

These skewers of grilled chicken breast, squash, and potato are flavored with a fiery barbecue sauce. The potatoes need to be parboiled so they will be done at the same time as the chicken.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 chicken breasts (3 halves), cut into 1-inch cubes
Spicy Barbecue Sauce, or 2 cups good-quality store-bought barbecue sauce
1 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 1/4 pounds new or baby fingerling potatoes
3/4 pound green or yellow summer squash (about 2), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce; toss. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Place the water in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon salt and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are almost tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain; halve. Set aside.
  • Thread 4 cubes of chicken, alternating with potatoes and squash, on each of 8 skewers. Gently brush vegetables with a little olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt and the pepper.
  • Arrange skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill. Grill, rotating skewers and brushing with olive oil as necessary to prevent sticking, until cooked through, about 12 minutes depending on heat of grill. Vegetables should be soft and slightly charred. Serve with choice of condiments.

These were a little too smoky for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try grilling them next time instead of smoking them.

These were delicious! I loved the combination of chicken, potatoes, and summer squash. The marinade was also very flavorful.

These kabobs were a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try using a different marinade next time.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they were still very juicy. The potatoes and summer squash were also cooked perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken kabobs, but these were amazing! The marinade really made all the difference. I'll definitely be making these again.

These kabobs were a huge hit at my last BBQ! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I especially loved the summer squash - it was a nice change from the usual bell peppers and onions.
