Grilled Chicken Skewers
When I think of grilling season, the first thing that comes to mind is chicken kabobs because they’re so easy to throw together. Chicken and vegetables marinated in ranch dressing, lemon and garlic mixture, become so juicy and are fall-apart tender.
What is a Kabob?
A kabob is pieces of meat with or without vegetables seasoned or marinated and grilled on a skewer (metal or wood) (or even with fruit like Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs). Kabobs are super versatile and can be made with any meat, such as Asian Beef Skewers and even with all veggies, like Grilled Brussels Sprouts and Vegetables.
Tips for Making Grilled Chicken Kabobs
If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 10 minutes in water to prevent them from burning. Cut the chicken and peppers in uniform sizes so the meat cooks evenly. When coating the chicken and vegetables, coat generously so all the pieces are in the chicken kabob marinade. Grill chicken over medium heat. The heat will give the chicken a nice sear and cook thoroughly inside as well. Don’t OVERCOOK the chicken.
How Long to Grill Chicken Kabobs: We typically cook them from 12-15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the largest part of the chicken reads 165°F.
What Vegetables Can I Use for Chicken Kabobs?
In this chicken kabob recipe, we used green and red pepper with red onion. However, you can use your favorite vegetables or a mixture of them. Here are some variations you can use:
Zucchini Mushrooms Red pepper, green pepper or orange pepper Red onion or sweet onion
