Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 6

Assemble the kabobs by alternating chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion pieces onto the skewers until all ingredients are used.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating to ensure even charring, until the chicken is fully cooked and registers an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the kabobs warm, and enjoy your delicious Motu Picnic Kabobs!
