Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces (5.29 oz | 150 g)
- 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup zucchini sliced (4.37 oz | 124 g)
- 1 small pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces (14.10 oz | 400 g)
- 6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- Sea salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken breast with kitchen paper, then cut into 1 inch cubes for uniform cooking.
- Marinate the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, red bell pepper, onion, zucchini, pineapple, crushed garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, and honey. Toss well to coat all pieces and let marinate for 15 minutes to enhance flavors.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers. You should be able to make 7 to 8 skewers in total.
- Preheat the Grill Skillet: Heat a non-stick grill skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Skewers: Cook the skewers on each side for about 1 minute until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
- Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked kabobs to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil for a healthier finish.
- Serve: Serve the grilled chicken kabobs immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, cool completely and store in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 1 month.
- Defrost completely before reheating in the microwave.
- Use wooden or bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour if metal skewers are unavailable to prevent burning.
- Cut meat and vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- If grilling outdoors, baste kabobs while cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Brush the grill skillet with oil before cooking to prevent sticking.
