Honey-Marinated Chicken Kebabs

Category: Main Dish

(makes about 12 kebabs)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic
2 small onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 orange bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 zucchini, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Wooden or metal skewers (metal ones will get hot on the grill so be careful!)
Directions:

Grab a large bowl and whisk the oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper together. Set aside a small amount of this marinade so you can brush it onto the kebabs later.
Put the chicken, garlic, onions, peppers, and zucchini into the bowl and let everything marinate for at least a few hours – the more time you let it marinate, the bolder the flavors will be.
Preheat the grill to high heat. Then, drain the marinade from the chicken and veggies Thread the chicken and veggies onto the skewers alternately, in whatever order you’d like – or, you can keep chicken skewers and veggie skewers separate if you want to cook them on different heat levels.
Lightly oil the grill and put the skewers on the grill. Cook then for 12-15 minutes – the chicken juices should run clear. Turn the skewers and brush with the reserved marinade** frequently while grilling.

**if you want to brush on while grilling...bring the left over marinade to a rapid boil to make sure you kill any raw chicken germs...
