Chicken Kabobs

Chicken Kabobs

Marinade Ingredients: 

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Kabob Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

1 whole pineapple, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes

1 large bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

1 onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

1 pound button portobello mushrooms, cut in half

Preparations:

1 Marinate the meat: Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the meat. Cover and chill in the fridge overnight. 

2 Soak skewers in water: Soak the wood or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from completely burning up on the grill.

3 Thread the meat and veggies onto the skewers: Cut the vegetables into chunks roughly the width of the chicken pieces. Thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers.

4 Grill on high, direct heat: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill for 30 to 40 minutes, painting the chicken often with leftover marinade to keep moist, turning skewers  occasionally. On the smoker, we smoke at about 250° to 300° for 30 to 40 minutes. Check your meat to not overcook.
