Shish kabobs are a wonderful main course for large gatherings. This easy recipe for grilled marinated chicken is delightfully tangy. The perfect combo of sweet, tangy and spicy. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Teaspoons yellow mustard
- 4 Cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- ½ Cup dark brown sugar
- ⅓ Cup olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 Teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 4 chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized chunks)
- fresh vegetables of your choice such as mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers (cut into bite-sized pieces (leave mushrooms whole))
- fresh pineapple chunks (if desired)
Note
I love making shish kabobs for gatherings -- they look so festive with brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Being able to assemble them in advance is helpful too!
If you're using bamboo skewers, I recommend soaking them in water while your chicken is marinating to reduce the chance of the skewers burning on the grill.

Directions
Step 1 | |
In a large non-reactive bowl, whisk all ingredients together up through crushed red pepper. Add chicken pieces and marinate for approximately 2-3 hours. To assemble, load skewers with chicken and assortment of vegetables. Cook on grill over medium-high heat until chicken is done (about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the chicken chunks). |
