Balsamic Chicken Kabobs feature tender chicken marinated in a sweet and tangy balsamic mixture, skewered with colorful vegetables, and grilled to perfection. These flavorful kabobs are perfect for cookouts, weeknight dinners, or healthy meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly in the marinade.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 4 hours.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
  7. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  8. Grill the kabobs for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  9. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  10. Brush with properly cooked reserved marinade if desired.
  11. Remove from the grill and allow the kabobs to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs provide extra juiciness and flavor on the grill.
  • Add mushrooms or pineapple chunks for additional variety.
  • Metal skewers do not require soaking and are reusable.
  • These kabobs can be baked at 425°F (220°C) for 18 to 20 minutes if grilling is not an option.
  • Serve with rice, couscous, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
