Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast or beef sirloin
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Red onion
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Bourbon
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
• 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast or beef sirloin into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the yellow and red bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the meat cubes.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, bourbon, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the meat cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or glass container, pour half of the marinade over the meat, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

Step 5

In another container, toss the chopped vegetables with the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours alongside the marinating meat.

Step 6

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 7

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil.

Step 8

Thread the marinated meat and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetable pieces for a colorful presentation.

Step 9

Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The meat should reach an internal temperature of 165°F for chicken or 145°F for beef.

Step 10

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and serve warm.
