Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • cup honey
  • cup soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into ½ inch slices
  • 1 pineapple, cut into 2 inch chunks
  • metal skewers, (if you using wood skewers, soak in water before using)

Instructions

  • Make marinade by combining oil, honey, soy sauce, pepper, and minced garlic.
  • Split marinade into two gallon-size Ziploc bags. Add chicken chunks to one and vegetable/fruit pieces to the other bag and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to low-medium heat.
  • Drain marinade from chicken and put chicken pieces in a bowl. Pour vegetables with marinade into another bowl.
  • Thread chicken, vegetables, and fruit alternately onto metal skewers.
  • Place skewers on lightly oiled grill grate. Cook skewers making sure to baste with reserve veggie marinade at the end. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear.

Notes

Make ahead of time. Chicken kebabs must be made ahead of time because the ingredients need time to marinate. Once the ingredients are threaded on the skewers, they do not need to be grilled immediately. Keep them covered in the fridge for a couple of hours. Allow them to come to room temperature before cooking them on the grill.
STORE. Remove the ingredients from the skewers and store leftover chicken and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or sauté them on the stovetop.
