More About This Recipe

  • Kebob or kabob? No matter how you spell it, marinated and grilled meat on a stick is officially the food of summer. While traditional kabobs are made from lamb meat, beef and chicken shish kabobs are popular since the meat is less expensive. For best results, use metal skewers for this shish kabob recipe. For one, you can re-use them all grilling season long and two, they won’t burn on the grill. If you only have wooden or bamboo on hand, soak them in water for about 15-30 minutes before threading your chicken on the sticks. This will prevent them from cooking on the grill along with your meat. We used bell peppers for the veggies in this well-rounded dinner but feel free to add chunks of red onions onto your skewers for a flavorful chiken dinner you’ll be making all summer long.
