Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, green), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Red onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved or whole

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Cut and marinate the chicken: Cube chicken breasts into 1.5-inch pieces. Toss the chicken in the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Prep the vegetables: Chop bell peppers, red onions, and cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto soaked wooden or metal skewers, packing snugly but not too tight.
  5. Preheat the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 375°F or 190°C). If using a grill pan, preheat on stove over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  6. Grill the kabobs: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes until chicken is cooked through and caramelized. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Rest and serve: Let kabobs rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Avoid marinating longer than 2 hours to prevent mushy texture. Oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking. If flare-ups occur, move kabobs to cooler part of grill.
