CHICKEN KABOBS ON THE GRILL



Chicken Kabobs on the Grill image

These kabobs are awesome and easy to make, but it does take some preparing time. The longer you marinate the more moist and tasty they are. We served these at our Memorial Day BBQ and we couldn't make them fast enough and we got great raves from all our family and friends... even the kids love these! Also a few ingredients go a long way... just plan ahead. I used the family pack of chicken (7-8 large boneless breasts) and it fed over 30 people)!

Categories     Chicken

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

skewer (I use the wooden type)
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bell pepper (I like to use a little of all 3 for color green bell, red, and yellow)
1 large sweet onion
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks (drained)
Catalina dressing (Equal parts of both dressings, I use 1 small bottle each of Kraft brand)
Italian dressing

Steps:

  • Soak skewers in water for at least 1 hour before before putting food on them. I like to put them in a water pitcher.
  • cut peppers and onion into approximately 1 inch pieces.
  • cut chicken into approximately 1 inch pieces.
  • place peppers, onions, chicken, and pineapple (drain juice) into a large glass bowl. (Don't use a plastic bowl or the catalina will stain it and the chicken can pick up a plastic taste).
  • Add equal parts of italian dressing and catalina dressing to large bowl, mix well and cover with plastic wrap or lid. Marinade over night if possible (but no less than 5 hours).
  • Place ingredients on skewers alternating chicken, peppers, onions, pineapple in any order. (This is a messy job!) I put each prepared skewer on a foiled cookie sheet to take outside to grill and put a new sheet of foil on for the cooked kabobs.
  • Place on bbq grill and cook until chicken is done (approx. 15-20 min.) Any left over veggies can be placed in a pie tin and cooked on the grill. MMM!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for kabobs. These cuts of chicken are lean and cook quickly, making them ideal for grilling.
  • Cut the chicken into uniform pieces: This will help the chicken cook evenly. For chicken breasts, cut them into 1-inch cubes. For chicken thighs, cut them into quarters.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful marinade will help to keep it moist and juicy while it cooks. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own. Some popular marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Soak the skewers: If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the kabobs. This will help to sear the outside of the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Grill the kabobs: Grill the kabobs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Baste the kabobs with marinade or sauce during grilling to keep them moist.
  • Let the kabobs rest: Let the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled barbecue chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your kabobs are cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or salad.
