Instructions
Creating BBQ Chicken & Veggie Skewers is straightforward and enjoyable if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large re-sealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and toss until the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Place them in a separate bowl.
4. Combine Ingredients: After marinating, add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the chopped veggies. Toss everything together to ensure even coating with the marinade.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables. Leave a little space between each ingredient for even cooking.
6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
7. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check for Doneness: Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
9. Remove from the Grill: Once cooked, take the skewers off the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your BBQ Chicken & Veggie Skewers while they are warm, perhaps with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
These simple yet effective steps will guide you toward creating an incredible dish that everyone will love.
