Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – cut them into 1″ cubes so they’re easy to thread on the skewers.
• Kielbasa sausage – cut it into 1/2″ slices. I love turkey sausage but you can use regular kielbasa!
• Bell peppers – I like to use yellow, green, and red bell peppers but use your favorites ones. Slice them into 1″ pieces.
• Red onion – 1″ slices for this, too!
• Fresh pineapple – cut into chunks about 1″ big.
• Brown sugar
• Teriyaki marinade – use jarred or make a batch of teriyaki marinade.

How to Grill Chicken Kabobs

Marinate: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover them with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least an hour or you can leave them in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Assemble: Once you have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go, you just have to start alternating them on the wooden skewer.

Grill! Once they are ready, you place the chicken skewers on the grill over medium-high heat. You’ll want to rotate them to make certain every side is cooked and once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, they are done and ready to enjoy.

What to serve with teriyaki chicken skewers?

I love to serve rice with these teriyaki chicken kabobs! Or, try them with my grilled potato packets, grilled zucchini, or grilled garlic bread.

How long do chicken kebabs take to grill?

This all depends on the heat of your grill. You can’t really put a time amount on the grilling due to that fact but you need to remember that it needs to be cooked thoroughly.

Rotate the skewers often and use your meat thermometer to verify that the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F before removing it from the grill.

Our best estimate on the length of time would be about 15 minutes at a temperature around 350°F

How do you cut chicken breast for kabobs?

Make certain that you’re cutting your chicken breast in big chunks so that it stays on the skewer. They should be equal sized so they cook evenly. If you have all different sizes, some will cook faster and dry out before the bigger ones are done.

Think of them in term of squares, if at all possible. That way, as you’re turning and rotating them over the fire, they aren’t going to break and fall off. 

How do you keep wooden skewers from burning?

Great question! This can definitely be an issue if you’re not prepared for it! You’ll want to soak them in water for an hour or so before you use them to grill. That way, they’re nice and wet and the fire won’t do anything to them because they’ll just sizzle due to all the moisture.
