Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Cube the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Slice zucchini into thick half-moons and cut the red onion into roughly 1-inch chunks.
  3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stir to coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill pan if using.
  6. Grill the kabobs for 15-20 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with grill marks.
  7. Let the kabobs rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. If chicken chars too quickly, move kabobs to a cooler part of the grill or reduce heat. Rest kabobs before serving to lock in juices.
