Pick-Me-Up Party Chicken Kabobs



Chicken kabobs are a great dish for a party. They're easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is for a simple and flavorful version that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Toss to coat the chicken in the marinade.

  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

  4. When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  5. Thread the chicken, onion, and bell pepper onto skewers.

  6. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the kabobs in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the kabobs for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  • For a more flavorful marinade, add a few tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce or teriyaki sauce.

  • If you're short on time, you can skip the marinating step and simply cook the kabobs as directed. However, marinating the chicken will help to tenderize it and add flavor.

  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Enjoy!
