Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 8 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
  • Optional garnish: lemon wedges for squeezing over kabobs

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the bowl and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  3. Toss the cut bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using charcoal, wait until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and glaze caramelizes.
  7. Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and squeeze lemon wedges over before serving.

Notes

Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Watch for flare-ups due to honey sugars and move kabobs to cooler grill areas if needed. Keep chicken pieces uniform in size for even cooking. Let kabobs rest after grilling to lock in juices.
