Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Kabobs
  1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Add in seasonings to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Marinate Veggies: Set aside a quarter of the marinade in a separate bowl. Toss chopped veggies in the remaining marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Marinate Chicken: Cut chicken into cubes and coat with the remaining marinade, letting it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  4. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Prepare Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken and veggies onto the skewers, alternating them for a mix of flavors and textures.
  6. Cook: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill kabobs for 8-12 minutes, turning halfway, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove kabobs from heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Drizzle reserved marinade over before serving.
