Oh my goodness, the weather has turned and just like that!! It’s grilling season, yay – one of my favorite times of the year! Just thinking about Grilled Chili Lime Chicken, Lemon Pepper Marinade and  Teriyaki Chicken makes me want to fire up the grill!

I mean seriously, what’s not to love?

When I lived in Green Bay we had very defined seasons but here in the Valley, there’s really only two. Fall and Winter blend into one and when we move into spring and summer it’s all about outdoor living, grilling and of course air conditioning.

This is Fresno after all! 🤣

I have dreams of putting in a pool next year and let me tell you…. I’m working hard to make that happen! Trying to work smarter. Focusing on connecting with you and creating the types of meals you’re looking for.

So if there’s ever a recipe you’re thinking about, be sure and let me know ok? Comment on the blog or email me at debra@bowl-me-over.com.

But I guess I’m rambling,…. sorry about that! You’re here today to learn all about these AMAZING Teriyaki Chicken kabobs, right?

It all starts with an easy Homemade Sauce!

Now it only takes about 5 minutes to put this marinade together. It’s so simple and 100 times better than what you get in a jar.

Now if you do choose to take a shortcut and buy a marinade, hey -no judgment!! I just want to see you cook up some easy meals with family!

Grocery list for Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

  • chicken breasts
  • green bell pepper
  • red onion
  • teriyaki sauce
  • sesame seeds – optional garnish

What is teriyaki sauce made of?

The main ingredients in this sauce are soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. It’s easy to make and you probably have most of the ingredients on-hand! Why not make it yourself?!!

What vegetables and fruit can you add to kabobs?

  • onions
  • bell peppers
  • pineapple
  • zucchini
  • mushrooms
  • cherry tomatoes
  • steamed baby potatoes

Tips for Chicken Skewers

  1. If you like pineapple, adding chunks of fresh pineapple to these kabobs is a great addition! Really you can any of your favorites vegetables.
  2. Cutting the chicken and vegetables to a uniform size will ensure the vegetables and meat get done simultaneously.
  3. Reserve a cup of sauce prior to marinating the chicken. Brushing sauce on the kabobs when they come off the grill makes the skewers glisten, plus having extra sauce to pass at the table ensures all of the chicken will be moist and delicious!
  4. Double the recipe and make extra! On day two, dinner can be Teriyaki Chicken Salad and lunches are chicken teriyaki and vegetables stuffed in a wrap or pita bread. Add some spinach and ranch dressing, YUM!
  5. It only takes about 6 minutes per side – be careful not to overcook. Nobody likes dry chicken!!

How do you make grilled teriyaki chicken skewers?

  1. If using wooden skewers be sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the marinade.
  3. Dice the chicken into small 1 1/2 inch pieces. Add to the marinade, allow to soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Dice the vegetables into 1 1/2 inch pieces.
  5. Assemble the teriyaki chicken skewers alternating meat and vegetables.
  6. Grill for about 6 minutes each side.

Be sure to grill extra because everyone loves grilled chicken!

Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve with these kabobs!

  • Teriyaki Noodles – setting aside some of the marinade to flavor the noodles makes this an easy side dish!
  • Greek Salad – because on day two, leftover kabobs can be combined with leftover salad and stuffed into pita bread for lunch the next day!
  • Deviled Egg Potato Salad – because potato salad is the BEST side dish in the summertime! I’m glad we all agree on that!!
  • Bow Tie Pasta Salad – dynamite salad, this is a family favorite!!

Skewers – these are a ton cheaper than purchasing at the grocery store. I personally prefer the shorter skewers also, because you can serve more people.
