ORANGE CHICKEN KABOBS

Put your marinade and cubed chicken together and marinate at least 2 hours. I also cut my veggies and put them in another bag with a little of the same marinade. I do this in the morning and then all I have to do at dinner time is assemble my kabobs and grill them! I serve with a rice pilaf of brown rice and wild rice.

Ingredients

¼ cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 large garlic clove, minced
¼ teaspoon dried sage
⅛ teaspoon garlic salt

1 bell pepper, chopped, or to taste
½ red onion, chopped, or to taste
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk orange marmalade, balsamic vinegar, red wine, olive oil, chives, basil, garlic, sage, garlic salt, and kosher salt together in a bowl until marinade is smooth.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 large poblano chile, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 orange, cut in half
salt and pepper

Steps:

Toss all the ingredients together (except the whole orange). Marinate for 30 minute.
Alternate the chicken and poblano chile pieces on wooden skewers ( if wooden -- soak in water for 30 minutes) season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the skewers on a preheated grill over moderate flame and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked.
Season once more with salt and pepper and squeeze a fresh orange over the cooked chicken kabobs.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is tender and juicy, marinate it in the orange juice, soy sauce, and seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
For a more intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice in the marinade and glaze.
If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.
To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates before cooking.
Cook the chicken over medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly throughout without burning.
Baste the chicken with the orange glaze every few minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve the chicken kabobs hot off the grill with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer grilling. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the tender chicken and grilled vegetables, makes this a dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give orange chicken kabobs a try!
