- Prepare marinade. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and mix until the salt and sugar have dissolved.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
- Preheat grill. Heat the grill to 400 degrees F for direct grilling.
- Assemble the kabobs. While the grill preheats, assemble your kabobs. This process takes about 15 minutes. Skewer on your chicken, squash, zucchini, peppers, and onions onto the kabobs in a pattern. Repeat until all of the chicken and vegetable pieces have been secured on the sticks. Season on all sides with a light sprinkle of additional salt and pepper before grilling, if desired.
- Grill the chicken kabobs. Place the kabobs directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes before opening the lid and rotating the skewers. Close the lid and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes. Open, check the temperature of the kabobs, and if the internal temperature of the chicken hasn't reached 165 degrees F, rotate them once again, close the lid, and cook until they hit the target temperature.
- Rest and serve. Remove the finished kabobs from the grill and rest for only 1-2 minutes before serving. The pieces are so small, they don't need to rest much longer than this and you want to serve them hot.

KABOBLESS CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
As the primary caregiver for my grandma, I am trying to cook healthier for her. I am fascinated with Mediterranean cuisine. It is much easier to have chicken and vegetables off the kabob, which inspired this sheet-pan dinner. -Chelsea Madren, Fullerton, California
