Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers any color, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Marinade
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add chicken, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the marinade; toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours, and soak wooden skewers in water if using.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and then thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers alternately.
- Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Serving
- Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
