Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated and submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld and chicken to tenderize.
Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to high heat to ensure a good sear and cooking temperature.
Prepare the Skewers: Drain the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Thread the chicken pieces alternately with the onion and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers.
Oil the Grill Grate: Lightly brush the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled skewers onto the hot grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken juices run clear and vegetables are nicely charred and tender.
Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately, either on the skewers or removed onto plates.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for longer than two hours if possible, ideally up to 4 hours, for deeper flavor absorption.
You can substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a healthier fat option.
Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Variations can include adding mushrooms or zucchini for different vegetable flavors.
If you don’t have a grill, the kabobs can be cooked under a broiler or on a grill pan on the stovetop.
