Every year I get so eager for spring and summer to begin so that we can fire up the grill! This year, sadly, I can only “fire up” the George Foreman as we don’t have a grill at our new apartment…but that works to! These Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs are probably the easiest, cheapest thing you can make on the grill plus they’re delicious and healthy!
I like to have some pre-made teriyaki sauce in the fridge so that I can just grab a few chicken tenders from my freezer, throw them in the fridge with the marinade, and forget about them all day. Then it takes me all of 10 minutes that night to chop some vegetables and make my kebabs.
Super easy, fresh and healthy = my kind of dinner! And, there’s just something yummy about grilled vegetables, am I right? I’m going to have to do a whole slew of posts on grilled vegetables, because they’re the best during the summer! Grilled corn on the cob, zucchini, Brussels sprouts…I could go on and on! But let’s get back to these awesome kebabs:
Consider trying these kebab recipes:
Yields about 6 servings
Ingredients:
8-10 chicken tenders
12-15 bamboo skewers
1 onion, sweet or red
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
For the teriyaki marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp white vinegar
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Preheat grill. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent from burning on the grill.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki ingredients–soy sauce, water, sugar, worcestershire sauce, vinegar, oil, garlic and ginger– until sugar dissolves.
Pour teriyaki marinade into a large, resealable plastic bag.Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks and add to marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cut peppers and onions into bite-sized chunks. Assemble skewers by alternating with chicken, peppers, then onion. Place on grill and cook for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.

1. do you think a chunk of pineapple would work on these along with the rest of the ingredients?
2. it’s the middle of winter in Western NY and 12 degrees lol should I pan fry or oven roast? Flavor wise
