Scale

- 6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- Sea salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Vegetables and Fruit
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces (5.29 oz | 150 g)
- 1 large white onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup zucchini sliced (4.37 oz | 124 g)
- 1 small pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces (14.10 oz | 400 g)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken breast with kitchen paper. Cut into 1 inch cubes for uniform cooking.
- Marinate Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, pineapple, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Toss well and let marinate for 15 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the chicken pieces and vegetables alternately onto skewers. You should get approximately 7-8 skewers.
- Heat Grill Skillet: Heat a non-stick grill skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot skillet and cook each side for about 1 minute until slightly charred and cooked through, turning carefully.
- Drain Excess Oil: Transfer cooked skewers to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Cool chicken and veggies completely, store in airtight container or ziplock bag, freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: Defrost fully and reheat in the microwave.
- Use wooden or bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for 1 hour to prevent burning if metal skewers are not available.
- Cutting meat and veggies into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
- If using an outdoor grill, baste kabobs with marinade to keep moist and enhance flavor.
- Brush grill skillet with oil to prevent skewers from sticking during cooking.
