BBQ CHICKEN KABOBS WITH POTATOES AND ZUCCHINI

chicken kabobs

These skewers of grilled chicken breast, zucchini, and potato are flavored with a fiery Sinai Gourmet Beer Maple BBQ sauce or our equally delicious Sinai Gourmet Poblano Original hot sauce. The potatoes need to be parboiled so they will be done at the same time as the chicken.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 chicken breasts (3 halves), cut into 1-inch cubes
  •  2 cups spicy Sinai Gourmet Beer Maple BBQ sauce sauce or alternatively 6 tablespoons Sinai Gourmet Poblano Original Hot Sauce
  •  1 cup water
  •  1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
  •  1 1/4 pounds new or baby fingerling potatoes
  •  3/4 pound zucchini (about 2), cut into 1-inch pieces
  •  2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

STEPS

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Add Sinai Gourmet Beer Maple BBQ sauce or Sinai Gourmet Poblano Original. Toss, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Place the water in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon salt and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are almost tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain; halve. Set aside.
  • Thread 4 cubes of chicken, alternating with potatoes and zucchini, on each of 8 skewers. Gently brush vegetables with a little olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt and the pepper.
  • Arrange skewers, off direct heat, on a medium-hot grill. Grill, rotating skewers and brushing with olive oil as necessary to prevent sticking, until cooked through, about 12 minutes depending on heat of grill. Vegetables should be soft and slightly charred.
  • Serve with choice of condiments.

COOK’S NOTE: I serve with a ramekin of extra Beer Maple BBQ Sauce and Poblano Original hot sauce so people can dip as they eat!
