Description
These Honey Garlic Asian Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and flavorful dish perfect for summer grilling. Tender chicken marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, threaded onto skewers with colorful vegetables, and grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
For the marinade:
- 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into 1½-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)
- wooden or metal skewers
For the marinade:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
- Prepare the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Discard excess marinade.
- Grill the kabobs: Grill the kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from grill and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Serve with rice, noodles, or a side of Asian slaw.
- Add pineapple chunks for a sweet twist.
- These kabobs can also be broiled in the oven if grilling isn’t an option.
