Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 810 wooden or metal skewers
  • For the Marinade:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place chicken in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–3 hours.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces.
  5. Grill kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred.
  6. Optional: Brush with extra marinade during the last few minutes of grilling for more flavor (if reserved before marinating).
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Reserve a few tablespoons of marinade separately if you plan to brush kabobs while grilling.
  • Feel free to add mushrooms or pineapple chunks for more variety.
  • Pairs well with rice, noodles, or grilled flatbread.
