Barbecue Chicken Kebabs are perfect for grilling with slices of bell peppers and onions. Marinated chicken, peppers, onions, and heirloom tomatoes are skewered, basted with the marinade, and grilled.
Do you love to grill as much as I do? I love the way grilling fills the neighborhood with sweet and savory smells of whatever I’m cooking and clean up is such a breeze. Not making a big fat mess on the kitchen stove!
Get your grills ready for Barbecue Chicken Skewers. This simple and delicious meal works great for dinners or any backyard gathering. For more grilling recipes be sure and try my Steak Marinade, Flank Steak Marinade, Homemade Barbecue Sauce, Barbecue Ribs, and Easy Chicken Marinade.
You really can add any vegetables you prefer to these skewers, even baby Portabellas. Try brushing them with a thin layer of my Peach Barbecue Sauce towards the end of the grilling process. Oh that would be amazing!
This year we planted plenty of plump, juicy tomatoes, bell peppers, and pickling cucumbers. Growing most of our own vegetables and berries in the summer makes me very happy.
And I love making homemade barbecue sauce and Bread and Butter Pickles and canning them both! We have an on going joke, that if I don’t have the kitchen tool or gadget you need, you probably don’t need it!
