Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks

Finishing Sauce

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts with olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, chop the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into large chunks. Also, cut the red onion into sizable pieces to match the vegetable chunks.
  3. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating between chicken chunks, bell peppers, and onion pieces. This layering ensures a balanced flavor and attractive presentation.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C), to prepare for grilling the kabobs.
  5. Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled skewers on the grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve even cooking on all sides. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to confirm doneness.
  6. Add the Finishing Touch: Once grilled, drizzle the kabobs with a freshly prepared mixture of low-sodium soy sauce and lime juice. This adds a tangy and savory finish to the dish just before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning on the grill.
  • You can substitute the fajita seasoning with a homemade mix of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt if desired.
  • Serve the kabobs with warm tortillas, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes after grilling to let the juices redistribute for juicier chicken.
