Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil + additional for brushing
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1-2 zucchini cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1 bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks (red, green, yellow, or orange all work well)
  • ½ red onion cut into chunks
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms halved if large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, basil, and garlic.
  2. Mix well, and pour over chicken, stirring to coat thoroughly.
  3. Cover, and place chicken in refrigerator for 30 minutes (can also marinate overnight).
  4. While chicken in marinating, soak bamboo kabob skewers in water.
  5. Preheat grill to medium heat - about 350ºF to 375ºF. Our preference is to use a charcoal grill, but a gas grill works well too.
  6. When ready to grill, skewer chicken and vegetables on kabob skewers. I like to alternate a piece of chicken with a piece of vegetable to make them heavier on the chicken.
  7. Brush top side of skewered chicken and vegetables with oil, and place on grill, oiled side down, and brush top side with oil.
  8. Cover grill, and grill kabobs about 5 minutes.
  9. Turn kabobs, and grill another 5 minutes until chicken is done through. I find it easiest to just slice into one piece of the chicken to make sure there is no pink when making kabobs.
  10. Remove from grill and serve.

Notes

  • Storage & Make Ahead
  • Store: Store cooled chicken kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freeze: Remove chicken and vegetables from the skewers and flash-freeze on a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Thaw kabobs in the refrigerator if frozen. Preheat oven to 350ºF and place kabobs on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a microwave-safe dish for 1-2 minutes.
