Delicious Grilled Chicken Skewers

These grilled BBQ chicken skewers feature tender chicken marinated in a zesty barbecue sauce, skewer them up with your favorite vegetables, and grill until perfectly charred. The recipe is quick and takes about 30 minutes total, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus extra for basting
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
Metal or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, soak in water for 30 minutes prior)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover, and marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion.
Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with additional barbecue sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
