Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs

Chicken kabobs marinated in a sweet and sour sauce are a fun alternative to usual barbecue fare. The honey-soy mixture does double duty as a marinade and a basting sauce, adding delicious flavor to every bite of juicy chicken. Use fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or other veggies and marinate overnight if desired. Don't have a grill? These can be cooked under your broiler.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ⅓ cup honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
• 5 small onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 medium red bell peppers, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 12 bamboo skewers, or as needed, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together honey, soy sauce, oil, and black pepper for marinade in a large glass bowl. Remove 1/4 cup of the marinade to a small jar; seal and set aside to use while cooking.

Step 2

Add chicken, onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the marinade in the large bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4

Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers.

Step 5

Place kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes total.
