Instructions

Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
Marinate Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure all pieces are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow flavors to soak in; longer marinating will enhance taste.
Preheat Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to high heat setting to ensure a good sear and even cooking.
Prepare Skewers: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Thread the chicken pieces alternately with onion and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers.
Oil the Grill Grate: Lightly brush or spray the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
Grill Kabobs: Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Serve: Remove from the grill and serve immediately, either on the skewers or plated.

Notes

Use wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Marinate the chicken overnight for even deeper flavor infusion.
Feel free to substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a healthier fat option.
Add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or zucchini for more variety.
Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
This recipe can be adapted for oven broiling if a grill is not available.
