Tips For Making Grilled Chicken Kabobs With Vegetables

Grilling Chicken Kabobs can be a fun and easy experience, even for beginners. To make sure you nail this grilled chicken kabob recipe on your first try, here are some handy tips to keep in mind while you’re prepping and cooking. Follow these suggestions, and you’ll be a kabob master in no time!

• Uniform Pieces: Cut your chicken and veggies into equally sized pieces, about 1.5 inches each, for even cooking. This will help prevent undercooked chicken or overcooked vegetables.
• Marinating Time: Let your chicken and veggies marinate for at least 4 hours but no more than 12 hours. For the best flavor and tenderness, aim for a marinating time of 6 to 8 hours.
• Grill Temperature: Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat before placing the kabobs on it. This will help ensure that the chicken and veggies cook evenly and don’t stick to the grates.
• Flipping Technique: Use tongs to carefully flip the kabobs while grilling. Turn them every 4 to 5 minutes for even cooking and to prevent burning.
• Use a Meat Thermometer: Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s fully cooked. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.

Customizing Your Grilled Chicken Shish Kabobs

Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs are a versatile chicken recipe that can easily be customized to suit your taste buds or dietary preferences. Here are some suggestions for making these kabobs uniquely yours:

Swap Chicken Breasts for Chicken Thighs

If you prefer juicier, more tender meat, consider using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Using chicken thighs for your chicken pieces are more forgiving on the grill. They’re likely to dry out, making them a delicious alternative that will guarantee juicy chicken every time.

Vegetarian-Friendly Kabobs

For those who follow a vegetarian diet, you can create delicious vegetable-only kabobs by leaving out the chicken and adding more vegetable pieces to the mix. Try including additional vegetables like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, green bell peppers, or eggplant to create a satisfying and colorful vegetarian meal.

Experiment with Different Marinades

While our white wine, lemon, and herb marinade is a tasty choice, there are countless other chicken marinade ingredients to try.

For a more Asian-inspired flavor, consider using a marinade with soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. If you’re a fan of bold flavors, try a spicy marinade with chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative and find the perfect marinade for your chicken and vegetable pieces to match your taste preferences.

Best Beer To Serve With Grilled Chicken Kabobs

There’s nothing quite like enjoying delicious and tender grilled Chicken Kabobs with a cold beer in hand. But which brews pair best with these skewers of tasty chicken and vegetables? Here are our top 3 beer picks that will complement the flavors and take your kabob game to the next level. Cheers!

American Pale Ale

The citrusy and slightly bitter notes of an American Pale Ale make it a great choice for our Grilled Chicken Kabobs. The beer’s refreshing hoppiness cuts through the rich marinade and complements the smoky grilled flavors, creating a perfect balance.

Hefeweizen

This German-style wheat beer, with its fruity and spicy notes, is another fantastic match for our kabobs. The beer’s light and effervescent body lifts up the savory chicken and veggies, while the subtle banana and clove flavors mingle with the zesty marinade.

Blonde Ale

For a light and easy-drinking option, go for a crisp Blonde Ale. Its mild maltiness and subtle sweetness make it a versatile companion for our Chicken Kabobs Grilled. The beer’s refreshing character won’t overpower the dish, allowing the flavors of the marinade and grilled ingredients to shine through.
