Honey - Cilantro Chicken Kabobs

This is one of my most requested recipes.  Not only is it flavorful and delicious, it's also easy to make and very versatile. You can add any additional veggies or fruits you like, but the kabobs are perfect just following this recipe.

I sometimes add quartered peaches and red bell pepper or whatever is in season from my garden.

And I usually serve a peach or strawberry salsa with this dish, along with roasted red skin potatoes or spring greens salad, yum.

Honey - Cilantro Chicken Kabobs 

PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients:

2 – 3 Tablespoons diced cilantro

2 – 3 Tablespoons raw honey

1 Tablespoon sea salt

2 - 3 Tablespoons olive oil

1 Tablespoon lime juice

3 garlic cloves, minced

Red pepper flakes, to taste

1 Can Dole pineapple chunks, drained

1 large red onion, quartered

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 

Cilantro sprigs for garnish

1 lime for garnish

Cut chicken into chunks

How to Make the Skewers:

Cut the lime into quarters or slices for garnish. 

Set aside.  Cut chicken into chunks or cubes and then cut the onion into quarters.

Mix the marinade in a large bowl

In a medium bowl, combine diced cilantro, honey, sea salt, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. 

Mix well.

Add chicken to marinade and stir to coat

Add chicken breast chunks to marinade, and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and allow to marinate 1 to 2 hours, stirring 15 minutes or so.

Place chicken on skewers, alternating every few pieces with pineapple chunks and pieces of red onion.

Additional fruits or vegetables can be added like quartered peaches, cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms, or bell peppers. 

I place the kabobs on trays as I assemble them for easy transport to the grill and to minimize any mess. 

Kabobs on trays ready for grilling

Grill chicken skewers on med-low heat to medium heat for 6 to 10 minutes per side, or until chicken is done and veggies are tender. 

It doesn't take long, so do not overcook the chicken.

Fresh Peach or Strawberry Salsa or Black Bean, Tomato and Corn Salsa go great as a side dish.

These kabobs can also be broiled in the oven.

We just dug up our red and Yukon gold potatoes from the garden and finishing up the last of canning our garden vegetables. 

I hope your summer is going well!
