Asian Chicken Kabobs

There's nothing better than bite size pieces of chicken that are infused with Asian flavor. This simple Asian marinade comes together quick and easy.  The chicken soak in the Asian marinade and then are grilled to perfection with fruit and vegetables.

Asian Chicken Kabobs

Not up for a mundane chicken recipe for dinner tonight? Then you're going to want to try these Asian Chicken Kabobs that are bursting with flavor!

The first thing you want to do is to make the Asian marinade for the chicken at least two hours before you plan on grilling.  I combine all of my ingredients in a mixing bowl and then pour it into a gallon size ziplock bag.  This way I'm sure that all of the bite size pieces of chicken are soaking up the marinade, while they are in the refrigerator.

While the marinade is working it's flavorful magic you can enjoy your company and even grab a glass of Strawberry Punch.  Once you are just about ready to grill, cut up the fresh vegetables and fruit for the skewers.  We like to use red bell peppers, onions and pineapple, but feel free to change the vegetables to your favorite or whatever you were able to find at the local farmer's market.

Asian Chicken Kabobs Grilled

One tip to keep in mind is that if you are using bamboo skewers, you want to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before you use them.  This way they don't catch on fire on the grill.  We use our metal skewers for our Asian Chicken Kabobs and save the bamboo skewers for our Lime Tequila Shrimp Kabobs.  There's just something about shrimp and bamboo skewers that seem to go together.
