Juicy and vibrant grilled chicken kabobs glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard marinade, paired with smoky-sweet pineapple and caramelized bell peppers for a perfect summer meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces uniform for even cooking.
  3. Add chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat thoroughly, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  4. Cut bell peppers into 1-inch chunks and slice fresh pineapple into similar-sized pieces.
  5. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Thread chicken, pineapple, and bell peppers alternately onto skewers.
  7. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and lightly oil grates.
  8. Grill kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and pineapple is caramelized but not burnt.
  9. Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate. Cook over medium-high heat and turn kabobs frequently to avoid burning the honey mustard glaze. Avoid piercing chicken with a fork to keep juices locked in. If flare-ups occur, move kabobs to a cooler part of the grill.
