Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Vegetables and Fruit
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces (5.29 oz | 150 g)
- 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces or red
- 1 cup zucchini sliced (4.37 oz | 124 g)
- 1 small pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces (14.10 oz | 400 g)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken breast with kitchen paper. Cut into 1 inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, pineapple, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Toss well to coat all pieces and let marinate for 15 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces. You should get 7 to 8 skewers.
- Preheat Grill Skillet: Heat a non-stick grill skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side until lightly charred and cooked through.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the skewers from the skillet and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the grilled chicken kabobs immediately while hot and juicy for best taste.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Allow chicken and veggies to cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: Defrost completely and reheat in the microwave.
- Skewers: Use wooden or bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour before grilling to prevent burning.
- Uniform Pieces: Cut meat and veggies into uniform-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Outdoor Grilling: Baste skewers while grilling to prevent drying out and to add extra flavor.
- Prevent Sticking: Brush the grill skillet with oil before cooking to keep skewers from sticking.
