Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 cup mixed colorful bell peppers

1 cup cherry tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Thread the chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, chicken breast, and garlic onto skewers, leaving space between each vegetable for even cooking.

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and honey (if using), and brush the mixture onto the vegetables and chicken, making sure they are well coated.

Place the skewers onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Remove the skewers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm, garnished with fresh parsley or other herbs of your choice.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the kabobs in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
