Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Kabobs

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
  • sesame seeds for garnish
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients: honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into 1-inch pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Thread the marinated chicken pieces and the cut vegetables onto the skewers, alternating them for an attractive presentation.
  • Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. If baking, place the kabobs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, you can brush any leftover marinade over the kabobs.
  • Remove from grill or oven, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

These kabobs are great served with rice or a fresh salad. You can customize the vegetables based on your preference!
