Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Vegetables and Fruit
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces (5.29 oz | 150 g)
- 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup zucchini sliced (4.37 oz | 124 g)
- 1 small pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces (14.10 oz | 400 g)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken breast with kitchen paper. Cut it into 1 inch cubes to ensure even cooking on the skewers.
- Marinate the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, red bell pepper, onion, zucchini, pineapple, crushed garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, and honey. Toss everything together thoroughly and let it marinate for 15 minutes to develop flavor.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating ingredients. You should be able to prepare 7 to 8 skewers in total.
- Heat and oil the grill pan: Place a non-stick grill skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot grill skillet. Cook each side for about 1 minute, turning carefully to ensure even grilling and slight charring without drying out the chicken.
- Drain excess oil: Transfer the cooked skewers to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the grilled chicken kabobs immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
