Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 small or 1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 small red or yellow onion (cut into 1-inch chunks with a few layers still together)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
  • Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
  • Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.

PARTY PERFECT CHICKEN KABOBS



Party Perfect Chicken Kabobs image

This is a wonderful kabob recipe that is a easy to make. It looks great on a platter and tastes delicious. Some notes:Marinade overnight for the best taste. You may marinade for as little as 3 hours however the taste won't be as good. Make sure you soak your skewers for 3 - 4 hours in water so they don't burn on the grill. I placed the pineapple on their own skewers so they wouldn't burn. Also, I put them on the top rack of the grill a few minutes before the chicken was done; just long enough to warm them.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h16m

Yield 20-25 kabobs, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped into chunks
2 large white onions, cut into 2 inch chunks
2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch chunks
2 green peppers, cut into 2 inch chunks
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 pineapple, cut into 2 inch chunks (or substitute with 4 8oz jars)
3 -4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 2 inch chunks
skewer (MAKE SURE TO SOAK IN WATER FOR SEVERAL HOURS)

Steps:

  • Combine oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper in large bowl, then divide.
  • From that same marinade take a small amount (about 1/2 cup) and have it on reserve. (You will use this to marinade the chicken once on the grill.).
  • Add 2 cloves of garlic into each bowl.
  • In one bowl, add the chicken and mix well.
  • In the second bowl add the vegetables and mix well. (I did not marinade the pineapple chunks because I like the flavor they add on their own.).
  • Refrigerate 8 - 12 hours making sure to stir halfway through.
  • Drain the marinade from the chicken and vegetables and discard. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
  • Preheat the grill to a medium-high setting.
  • Place skewers directly on the grill and cook for 12-16 minutes, turning and brushing with the reserved marinade several times.
  • Place pineapple skewers on grill with about 5 minutes remaining in cooktime to allow them to warm.

It has apricot jam and soy sauce? It works! Juicy cubes of fresh pineapple would be a delightful addition to these flavorful skewers.

Provided by College Girl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 6 skewers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons apricot jam
1 1/3 teaspoons ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 chicken breasts, boneless skinless cut into 1-inch lengths
8 green onions, cut into 1-inch lengths
6 -8 skewers, soaked in water

Steps:

  • Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, jam, ginger, and garlic in a shallow bowl. Add chicken to sauce; toss to coat.
  • Cover and refridgerate for one to 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Alternate chicken and onions on skewers, reserving marinade.
  • Broil for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, turning several times and basting with reserved marniade. Discard any remaining marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for kabobs. They are lean and cook quickly.
  • Cut the chicken into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly. About 1-inch cubes is a good size.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try one of the more complex marinades in the recipes linked in the article.
  • Skewer the chicken: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the chicken. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the chicken kabobs: You can cook the chicken kabobs on a grill, in a skillet, or in the oven. Be sure to cook them until they are cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken kabobs: Serve the chicken kabobs with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad. You can also drizzle them with a sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of marinades and cooking methods to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken kabobs a try!
