Grilled Chicken Kabobs are a healthy and flavorful meal made with marinated chicken and colorful vegetables cooked on skewers. Perfect for summer grilling, these kabobs are juicy, charred, and customizable.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), chopped
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 zucchini or yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into even, bite-sized chunks.
  2. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using.
  5. Chop bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into chunks similar in size to the chicken.
  6. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces.
  7. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  8. Grill the kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  9. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use metal skewers for convenience and reusability.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Brush kabobs with extra marinade or oil before grilling to keep them moist.
  • Serve with rice, couscous, or a side salad for a complete meal.
