Ingredients for Honey Mustard Kebabs

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious chicken and vegetable skewers:

For the Skewers:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1” cubes
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
• 1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
• 1 small zucchini, sliced into ½” rounds

For the Marinade:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken Kebabs

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey mustard, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 2: Prep the Grill and Veggies

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. While it heats up, chop your vegetables into 1” pieces so they grill evenly and fit nicely on the skewers.

Step 3: Assemble the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken and chopped veggies onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternating colors and ingredients for a beautiful presentation.

Step 4: Grill the Kebabs

Place the chicken skewers directly on the hot grill. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes to ensure even cooking. During the last couple of minutes, brush with additional French’s Honey Mustard for an extra burst of flavor and glossy finish.

Grilling Tips for the Best Chicken Skewers

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
• Cut ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking.
• Keep an eye on the grill – these cook quickly and you don’t want to overdo it.
• Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil as garnish before serving for a bright, fresh touch.

What to Serve with Honey Mustard Kebabs

These chicken skewers pair beautifully with:

• Grilled corn on the cob
• Pasta salad or potato salad
• Fresh fruit salad
• Rice pilaf or couscous
• Toasted pita or flatbread with tzatziki

Want to switch things up? Here are some tasty ideas:

• Add pineapple chunks for a sweet tropical twist.
• Try cherry tomatoes or mushrooms for more veggie variety.
• Swap chicken for shrimp or pork using the same honey mustard marinade.
