Honey Chicken Kabobs

(recipe from allrecipes.com, link)

Because of my son's allergies to not only milk but also beef, pork, and lamb, we eat a lot of chicken! I'm always on the lookout for different ways to cook it and these kabobs are delicious. Anytime you have a marinade with soy sauce and something sweet you know it'll be good!

2 hour marinade | 20 min prep | 20 min cook

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 5 small onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • skewers
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Before adding chicken, reserve a small amount of marinade to brush onto kabobs while cooking. Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better).
  2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
  3. Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Turn and brush with reserved marinade frequently.
Notes
  1. I like using other veggies like butternut squash, zucchini, yellow peppers, orange peppers, etc.
  2. I also can't cook meat on a grill for my son because of the other meats that have been on it. So I cook my kabobs in the oven on a cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top (So the juices run off like a grill). I cook them at 425 degrees for 15 min. Then I take them out, baste them, and put them in for 5 min more.
