Description
Delicious kabobs featuring succulent chicken marinated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for grilling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breast)
- 1 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- ½ cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling)
Instructions
- Start by making the marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Next, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large resealable bag or a bowl and pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for basting later. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- While the chicken is soaking up the goodness, prep your veggies. Chop the bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into manageable chunks.
- Once your chicken has marinated, it’s time to assemble the kabobs. Thread alternating pieces of chicken and veggies onto skewers. Be sure not to pack them too tightly.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For variations, swap chicken for tofu or shrimp. Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
