How to Make Asian Chicken Kabobs
- Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the chicken with 1 medium zucchini (cut into 1-inch pieces), 8 oz mushrooms (sliced), and 1 bell pepper (any color, cut into 1-inch pieces).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables in the bag.
- Seal the bag tightly, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Soak 4 wooden skewers in hot water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Drain the chicken and vegetables, reserving the marinade.
- Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Place skewers on the preheated grill.
- Brush the kabobs with half of the reserved marinade.
- Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the remaining marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve immediately over seasoned rice or couscous.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
