Description
Master the art of outdoor grilling with these simple, succulent chicken kabobs. By using uniform cuts of fresh chicken breast, vibrant bell peppers, and red onion, you ensure perfectly even cooking and a beautiful presentation. This recipe relies on a savory Mediterranean-style marinade of olive oil, garlic, and oregano for maximum flavor without the need for long marination times, making it perfect for a quick, delicious backyard meal.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
3 large bell peppers (mixed colors, chopped into 1-inch pieces)
1 large red onion (cut into 1-inch squares)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Whisk the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until well coated; let sit for 15 minutes.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using.
Thread the chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers in an alternating pattern.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates.
Grill the skewers, rotating every 3 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and veggies are tender.
Notes
Ensure all vegetables and meat are cut into similar 1-inch sizes for consistent cooking. If using wooden skewers, do not skip the soaking step to prevent them from catching fire. Using metal skewers is an excellent reusable alternative.
