- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-2" pieces
Defrost chicken if needed. Cut into 1.5" chunks. Transfer meat to a ziplock bag.
Whisk marinade ingredients together and pour all but about 1/4 cup in the bag with the chicken pieces.
Close the bag and massage it gently so that the chicken is well coated with marinade. Let the chicken marinate for about 3-5 hours in the fridge.
Set aside the reserved marinade for the vegetables. Cut zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper and/or red onion. Refrigerate until ready to assemble kabobs.
Assemble kabobs by threading chicken onto skewers NOT tightly packed so that chicken can cook evenly and thoroughly. Arrange chicken kabobs and vegetable kabobs separately.
Cook on a hot grill about 5-7 minutes each side, until chicken registers 160°F on a cooking thermometer. Brush both chicken and vegetable kabobs with reserved marinade after turning once.
Let chicken kabobs sit about 5 minutes after removing from the grill, then serve alongside grilled vegetables.
