Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce or 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup honey or 2 teaspoons honey
1 to 4 teaspoons minced or pureed garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, or a blend)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper or summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 small zucchinis, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
Fresh parsley for garnish
Optional: lemon juice, crumbled cheese, or additional fresh herbs for serving
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
1. Combine olive oil, soy sauce or vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs in a large bowl or resealable bag to make the marinade.
2. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours. Add vegetables to marinate 1-2 hours before cooking.
3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F) and oil the grates.
4. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces. Press ingredients firmly to prevent spinning.
5. Grill kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, total 10-16 minutes, until chicken is cooked (165°F) and vegetables are tender.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley or herbs, and squeeze lemon juice over if desired. Serve immediately, optionally over rice or with salads.
