Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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.

Time 1h16m

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

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.
