Equipment
- metal or wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
For the Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons Canola oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Kabobs:
- 5-6 colored bell peppers (seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 red or yellow onions (cut into 1-inch wedges)
For the Honey Soy Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
For Serving (optional):
- white or Jasmine rice
- chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- Whisk together marinade ingredients. Add to a resealable plastic bag or a bowl with the chicken breast pieces. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours, or longer.
Prepare the Kabobs:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sided baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a metal baking rack on top. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 5-10 minutes.
- Assemble the kabobs by adding all of the onions, peppers, and chicken to separate skewers, spacing them out a bit.
- Brush the chicken and vegetables with the extra marinade using a pastry brush. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and vegetables.
- Bake kabobs for 20 - 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F with an instant read thermometer.
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the kabobs bake, prepare the Honey Soy Sauce by mixing the honey and soy sauce until the honey dissolves. Warm in microwave for 15 - 30 seconds.
- Serve kabob chicken and vegetables with rice and Honey Soy Sauce, if desired.
