Ingredients Needed

boneless skinless chicken breast – you’ll need about 1.5 lbs for this recipe, chopped into large chunks.
yellow squash and zucchini – two of my favorite summer veggies! You’ll slice these into rounds and there’s no need to peel them first.
bell pepper – I typically use red bell pepper, but any color variety of bell peppers will work. You’ll want to de-seed and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
red onion – adds a mild, sweet flavor when grilled. You’ll want to cut into 1-inch chunks.
marinade – we’re making a homemade marinade with red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, dried oregano or Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.

Want to use different veggies? Go for it! I just recommend picking vegetables that will cook in the same amount of time and are easy to grill like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms or eggplant. Potatoes would also be another good option, but make sure to cut them into small enough chunks to properly cook in the amount of time it takes for the chicken and other veggies to cook.

How to Make Grilled Chicken Kabobs

Step 1: Whisk together the marinade in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the chicken to the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

Step 3: Add the chopped veggies, olive oil and sea salt into a medium sized mixing bowl and toss to coat.

Brittany’s Tips!

Marinate! For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.
Use proper skewers: Use metal skewers or if using wooden skewers be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to keep them from catching fire while grilling. If using metal skewers be sure to tongs or an oven mitt to remove them from the grill as they’ll be hot!
Cut chicken evenly: Try to cut the chicken into similar sized pieces, around 1-1 ½ inch chunks so it cooks evenly.
Don’t crowd the skewers: You don’t want to crowd the vegetables and chicken too tightly on the skewers otherwise the heat won’t be able to circulate around everything evenly.

How to Store Leftovers

In the fridge: Remove any leftover chicken and veggies from the skewers store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Reheat leftovers over the stovetop or in the oven on a baking sheet at 350F until warmed throughout. You can also reheat the chicken and vegetables in the microwave if you’re short on time.
