Grilling Made Easy: Chicken Kabobs on an Electric Grill
Are you a fan of delicious and healthy grilled chicken kabobs? If you own an electric grill, you’re in luck! With just a few simple steps, you can cook mouthwatering chicken kabobs right in the comfort of your own backyard. Let’s dive into the world of electric grilling and learn how to create the perfect grilled chicken kabobs.
Ingredients:
- Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, etc.)
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: marinade of your choice
Instructions:
- Preheat your electric grill to medium-high heat. This ensures that your chicken kabobs will cook evenly.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will prevent them from burning.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks, making sure they are relatively uniform in size. This will help to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer marinated chicken kabobs, now is the time to marinate the chicken. Place the chicken chunks in a bowl or plastic bag, add your desired marinade, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare your vegetables. Cut them into similar-sized pieces that will easily thread onto the skewers.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
- Brush the skewered chicken and vegetables with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper, according to your taste preferences.
- Place the chicken kabobs on the preheated electric grill and close the lid. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the chicken kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to settle.
- Serve your succulent chicken kabobs with a side of fluffy rice, a fresh salad, or even some warm pita bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
