- Wooden Skewers: Soaked in water for 30 minutes.
Instructions
- Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and cut the red bell pepper and red onion into evenly sized cubes.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

- Marinate the kabobs in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.

- Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
Notes
Feel free to substitute chicken with shrimp or beef for different flavor profiles. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to the kabobs. For an extra kick, try using spicy BBQ sauces or citrus-based marinades.
