Chicken Kabobs with Honey and Garlic

Wow! This chicken was super tender, juicy AND flavorful!
There’s nothing I hate more than making chicken kabobs that end up being overcooked, dry and tasteless.

These chicken kabobs from Kitchen Sanctuary couldn’t be farther from that! I used my usual Bell and Evans boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I marinated the chicken maybe 15 minutes.

Threaded on the skewers with peppers and onions. Cook on my grill until they reach 165 degrees F, about 10-15 minutes.

That’s it! The tastiest, tenderest, most delicious chicken kabobs ever!


Rice Pilaf
Amazon has this in lots of 12. (I can go through this amount in no time).


Chicken Granulated Boullion


Dried Vegetables
(Be careful what you are buying. You don’t want soup mix as you just want the vegetables, not the seasonings).


Dried Parsley Flakes

I made Near East Rice Pilaf with these kabobs. I think it’s the best pilaf in a box. I doctor it up a bit by adding a little more water (to allow the rice to cook a little longer and soften), a sprinkling of granulated Chicken Boullion (to add even more chicken flavor), a sprinkle of dried parsley and some dried vegetable flakes (to add flavor). The pilaf was amazing, super easy and convenient!

Chicken Kabobs with Honey and Garlic


  • Author: Afoodieaffair

Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlicpeeled and minced
1 tsp minced ginger
4 Tbsp dark soy sauce
4 tbsp honey
1/8-1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Skewers:

3 chicken breast halves, cut into chunks, marinaded in above marinade
1 red bell pepperchopped into large chunks
1 onionpeeled and sliced into squares


Instructions

Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.

Place the chicken in a bowl and pour on three quarters of the marinade (save the rest for brushing on the chicken during cooking). Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour (or up to a day).

Soak your skewers if they’re wooden ones (to prevent them burning) or use metal skewers.

When you’re ready to cook, heat your BBQ or griddle until it’s very hot. Turn down to medium/medium high.

Thread chicken, onion and bell pepper on skewers. Discard any of the marinade left in the bowl (do not use to marinate chicken while cooking).

Place the skewers on the BBQ or griddle, and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Turn 3-4 times during cooking, and brush with the reserved marinade half way through cooking. To check the chicken is cooked, use a meat thermometer. Chicken is cooked at 165 degrees F.
