Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 large bell peppers (assorted colors), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes, whole
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch thick rounds or half-moons
12–15 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast, ranch seasoning mix, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
2. While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables by cutting them into uniform 1-inch pieces. Ensure your wooden skewers have been soaking in water.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken cubes and prepared vegetables alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers. Be careful not to overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking.
5. Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp with light char marks.
6. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add other vegetables like mushrooms or yellow squash. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve hot off the grill, perhaps with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
