Honey Mustard Chicken Kabobs
Yield: 4 servings
This easy grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Kabobs recipe is made with minimal ingredients, yet packs a big flavor punch. With tender, juicy chicken and fresh vegetables in a sticky-sweet and tangy sauce, it's grilling perfection that the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¾ cup honey
- ⅓ cup prepared yellow mustard
- 1½ teaspoons mild curry powder
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1¼" pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1¼" pieces
- ½ large yellow onion, peeled into single layers and cut into 1¼" pieces
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl that's low and wide, stir together the oil, honey, mustard, and curry. Remove ½ cup of this honey mustard mixture and set aside for brushing on the kabobs while grilling. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and fold to combine, coating all the chicken with the honey mustard mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, folding the chicken halfway through.
- Thirty minutes prior to grilling, add marinated chicken pieces to skewers, alternating with pieces of red pepper and onion. Sprinkle assembled kabobs on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Don't be afraid to season fairly generously.
- Heat grill to medium/medium-high heat. Make sure grates are scrubbed clean and then oiled well (see Notes).
- Grill for about 10-15 minutes total, turning every few minutes. The honey is sweet and sticky, so keep an eye on the kabobs so they don't get overly charred. If needed, turn down heat or move kabobs to a part of the grill with less heat. Liberally brush on the reserved honey mustard mixture during the final few minutes of grilling.
Notes
If using wooden skewers, place them in a shallow pan of water to soak when you start making this recipe. This will help them to not burn up as quickly on the grill.
To oil the grates, add some vegetable oil to a small bowl. Then fold a heavy paper towel a few times to make a smaller square. With a tongs, grasp the folded paper towel and dip it into the oil until the paper towel is soaked. Then run the paper towel over the clean, hot grates, repeating until all grill grates are thoroughly oiled.
