Ingredients

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 can beer (Guinness stout or beer of choice)

Vegetables

  • 3 bell peppers (trimmed, stems removed, and sliced into squares)
  • 1 zucchini (ends trimmed, cut into 1/2 inch slices)

Instructions

  1. Clean chicken breast and cut into roughly 1 1/2 inch cube pieces
  2. In a large bowl add all the ingredients (minus the beer) and whisk together. Once mixed, pour in beer, and stir to combine. Add in chicken, mix, cover with a lid or wrap, and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours or overnight.
  3. While chicken is marinating, slice up all of your vegetables that are going onto the skewers. Once done, drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper, and mix to coat the vegetables.
  4. Preheat your grill on high for 10 minutes and use a grill brush to clean any previous remnants. Lower the heat to medium (425-450F).
  5. Once the chicken is done marinating, place the ingredients on the skewers. Alternate between assorted vegetables in between each chicken piece. Since red onions are thin, I double up on the onion pieces.
  6. Grill until meat is fully cooked through (165F degrees) and vegetables are charred. Rotating every few minutes so the chicken and vegetables are evenly cooked.
  7. Serve the skewers on their own or with your favorite side dish!

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 10 minutes prior to grilling so they do not burn or catch fire when cooking.
  • The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.
  • If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can substitute garlic powder.
  • My favorite beer to marinate with is Guinness, but I have also used IPA's and Ambers with this same recipe.
  • For a little extra spice, add some jalapeno peppers. You can also add some pineapple for a bit of sweetness.
