Ingredients

8 cups room temperature water
1/3 cup + 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®, (divided)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
3 tablespoons honey
1 lime, (juiced and zested)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons corn starch (or arrowroot powder)
1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

In a large bowl, add water, 1/3 cup Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®, and sugar. Mix together with a spoon until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Add the chicken breasts to the salt water solution, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Toss chicken with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®.
Thread the seasoned chicken onto 8 12-inch metal skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Heat grill to high heat, about 400°F. Place kabobs on grill, cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning the kabobs 2 to 3 times until chicken fully cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 small or 1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 small red or yellow onion (cut into 1-inch chunks with a few layers still together)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.

Tips:

Use a flavorful brine. The brine is what will give your chicken kabobs their flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Some good options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
Brine the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you brine the chicken, the more time it will have to absorb the flavors of the brine. However, don't brine the chicken for more than 24 hours, or it will become too salty.
Use wooden skewers. Wooden skewers are the best option for chicken kabobs because they are less likely to burn than metal skewers.
Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes before using them. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Cook the chicken kabobs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning and will ensure that they are cooked through.
Baste the chicken kabobs with the remaining brine while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
