Oven-Baked Chicken Kabobs (Juicy & Tangy)
Description
This recipe prepares boneless chicken by slicing it into uniform chunks and marinating thoroughly overnight in a flavorful blend including ranch dressing and vinegar for tanginess, plus Worcestershire sauce and honey mustard for depth and slight sweetness. The sugar and seasoning balance the marinade. Marination allows the chicken to absorb flavors and helps tenderize it.
Chicken pieces are then threaded onto skewers and placed on a baking dish or wire rack for even heat circulation. Baking at 450°F for 25 minutes cooks the chicken fully and develops a browned exterior without drying the meat. Internal temperature should reach 165°F for safe consumption.
These kabobs can be served with rice, vegetables, or salad, making them versatile for weeknight meals or gatherings. The marinade provides a juicy, tangy profile that distinguishes these baked kabobs from grilled versions.
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken boneless
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp honey mustard
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Slice the chicken into 2-inch pieces.
- In a small dish, whisk the ranch, oil, worcestershire sauce, vinegar, honey mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper together.
- Place the chicken in a bowl, pour the sauce on top, and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge overnight.
- Thread chicken on each skewer. Assemble the skewers on top of a baking dish so they don't touch the bottom (this will help them cook more evenly). Alternatively, you can place them onto a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Bake the kebabs at 450°F for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
