Seriously. So simple, right? After whipping up the marinade, you’ll just need some chicken and veggies. I like sweet bell peppers and red onion. Try to chop them up in similar sizes.

How to Make Kabobs

Marinate

Place the marinade, chicken, and chopped veggies into a container and let them sit for about 2 hours.

Once they’ve done their fair share of marinating, it’s time to get those puppies on skewers! Your hands will get down and dirty during this process, so just embrace it and wash up well after.

Grill

Since chicken is lean and the chicken and veggies pieces are fairly small on the kabobs, it’s easy to overcook them.

You’ll only need to grill your kabobs for 12-15 minutes over medium heat, or until the chicken registers 165°F internally.

It’s important to use a meat thermometer to cook them perfectly.

Serve them with our Quinoa Tabbouleh or Grilled Corn on the Cob.

Can you freeze chicken kabobs?

Great question! If you want to make this a freezer meal, we recommend freezing the cut up, uncooked chicken in the marinade without the veggies.

Because of the high water content in the bell peppers and onions, they won’t hold up well on a skewer after being frozen and thawed.

To prepare, simply thaw the chicken using one of our safe thawing methods and then add them to the skewers with fresh veggies.
