Delicious, Succulent Chicken Kabobs…

These chicken kabobs always turns out delicious tasting!

The peppery-sweet ginger, along with the tang from lime juice, and fresh cilantro are the key ingredients to these tasty chicken kabobs. 

Perfect to serve at any gatherings, barbecues, and al-fresco dining.

These grilled ginger-lime chicken kabobs are very easy to prepare.

I decided to marinate chicken pieces in the morning, allowing the marinade to do its magic.  Then I assembled the kabobs right before they went to the grill.

The marinade includes a mixture of fresh cilantro, freshly grated ginger, lime juice, and honey in a mixing bowl, and marinated for a few hours.

Next, threaded the skewers and grilled them.

Adding some fresh veggies not only adds a vibrant color to these kabobs but also additional flavors to the chicken.

There was enough for everyone to have one kabob or two. Everyone enjoyed them very much, even the little ones loved them too!

Best of all, grilling the kabobs took less than 10 minutes.  It was not only easy, but a pleasure to grill them, making dinner a breeze!

Enjoy!

How to Make our Chicken Kabobs?

*Follow along with our directions, or jump down to the bottom for our full recipe card!

Ingredients for Grilled Ginger-Lime Chicken Kabobs:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts- cut into about 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tsp. lime zest
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 2 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
• 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1-pint grape tomatoes
• 1 green pepper- cleaned, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• cooking spray
• 12-inch skewers

EASY Directions to Make these Chicken Kabobs:

1.  FIRST, PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Rinse, drain, and place all chicken pieces into a large zip-lock plastic bag.

2.  MAKE THE MARINADE: In a medium bowl, whisk together the next 9 ingredients.  Pour the chicken into the plastic bag.  Seal the bag and turn a few times to coat the chicken. Place the bag in a shallow dish.  Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or more.  Turning occasionally.

3.  MAKE THE KABOBS: Begin to thread the skewers with the chicken goes on first, then add green pepper and then a grape tomato.  Repeat 1 more time, and finish with chicken on top.  You should have at least 3 pieces of chicken per skewer.  Continue to thread all the skewers.  Place each skewer onto a platter.  If you have any grape tomatoes left, add them as the tops to some of the skewers.

4.  PLACE KABOBS ON A PLATTER: When all kabobs are ready, take the remaining marinade in the bag and pour it over the kabobs.

5.  READY TO GRILL: Heat grill to medium heat.  Lightly spray gas or charcoal grill with some cooking oil. Place the kabobs directly on the grill. Grill kabobs with the cover closed for about 3 to 4 minutes, and brush once with some of the marinade.

6.  TURN KABOBS OVER: and brush again with the remaining marinade (then discard the marinade). Continue to grill for additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove and let stand for a few minutes before serving, allowing metal skewers to cool down to handle.  Serve warm.

Also, serve them with a drizzle of our Authentic Tzatziki Sauce, …it’s the best! 

Yields: 12 chicken kabobs
