Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Grilled Chicken Kabobs
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Add seasonings and mix well. Set aside a portion of the marinade for basting later.
  2. Chop the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion into even pieces. Combine the chopped vegetables with the reserved marinade. Toss gently and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour in the remaining marinade and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  5. Thread chicken and marinated veggies onto skewers, alternating for color and balance.
  6. Grill kabobs for 8-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through (160°F). Baked option: Arrange on a sheet and bake at 400°F for 16-22 minutes.
  7. Remove kabobs from the grill or oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
