Ingredients for Asian Chicken Kabobs

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Dry Sherry

How to Make Asian Chicken Kabobs

  1. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. 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).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables in the bag.
  5. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
  6. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  7. Soak 4 wooden skewers in hot water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Drain the chicken and vegetables, reserving the marinade.
  9. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
  10. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  11. Place skewers on the preheated grill.
  12. Brush the kabobs with half of the reserved marinade.
  13. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the remaining marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  14. 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.
