Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs between 8 - 10 pieces
- ⅓ cup soy sauce or tamari if gluten-free
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves minced (~ 1 teaspoon)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 small red onion quartered into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large zucchini cut into ½-inch coins
- 1 large summer squash cut into ½-inch coins
Instructions
- Trim excess fat off the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch each). Set to the side.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, dijon mustard, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper.
- Add trimmed chicken to a large zip lock bag or mixing bowl along with half of the marinade, saving the remaining marinade for grilling. Carefully shake the bag so all chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375 - 400°F) and wipe down with nonstick spray or oil dipped paper towel.
- Thread the skewers by alternating chicken and veggies. If some chicken pieces are too long and thin, fold in half when threading onto the skewer. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes so they do not burn on the grill.
- Place skewers on heated grill and cook each side for 3 - 4 minutes until lightly charred with grill marks and cooked through. This will take about 10 - 13 minutes total.
- Transfer skewers to a serving platter and let them sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle the extra sauce on top or serve on the side and enjoy!

Notes
- TO STORE: in one large airtight container or individual airtight containers if meal prepping in the fridge for 3 - 4 days. You can also wrap them in foil or wrap to maximize freshness.
- TO REHEAT: For the best results, reheat the chicken thigh kabobs in the microwave or on the stovetop.
