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
Seasoning and Marinade
- Sea salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken breast with kitchen paper. Cut into 1 inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, red bell pepper, onion, zucchini, pineapple, crushed garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, and honey. Toss everything together thoroughly and let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful presentation. You will get approximately 7-8 skewers depending on size.
- Preheat the Grill Skillet: Heat a non-stick grill skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot grill skillet. Cook each side for about 1 minute, turning carefully to ensure even grilling without burning.
- Drain Excess Oil and Serve: Transfer the cooked kabobs to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- To Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To Freeze: Cool completely before placing kabobs in an airtight container or ziplock bag; freeze for up to 1 month.
- To Reheat: Defrost fully and reheat using a microwave for convenience.
- You can use wooden or bamboo skewers, but soak them in cold water for at least 1 hour before grilling to prevent burning.
- Cutting meat and vegetables into uniform pieces allows for even cooking.
- If grilling outdoors, baste kabobs during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Brush grill skillet with oil before cooking to avoid sticking.
