Description

These summer BBQ chicken skewers are marinated in a zesty sauce and grilled to perfection. Perfect for your backyard gatherings and summer parties!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. While the grill is heating, prepare your skewers by threading the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto them, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite BBQ sides.

Notes

  • For even more flavor, you can add additional vegetables such as zucchini or cherry tomatoes to the skewers.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • These skewers can be served with a side of rice, grilled corn, or a fresh summer salad.
