SWORDFISH KABOBS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water in a casserole dish or baking sheet for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; oil the grill grates with olive oil.
- Mix the balsamic, lemon juice and mustard in a small bowl. Add the olive oil in a slow stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.

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.

KABOB GLAZE
I "baste" my kabobs after they are cooked and off the fire. Because of the honey in the sauce, if you baste them sooner, you run the risk of drips falling into the bottom of the grill and starting flare-ups. I'd rather not have a burnt honey taste on my chicken so I just wait until the chicken is cooked and then brush them and even drizzle on extra sauce. I use this Glaze for Sausage, Chicken and Shrimp Kabobs! ;)

Steps:
- While grilling your kabobs combine these ingredients in a small bowl.
- Stir with a basting brush until the honey gets well incorporated. It will be almost like it melts into the Worcestershire and the cayenne gets mixed inches.
- Taste it. You can always add more cayenne to make them as zippy as you'd like but it's truly impossible to take the cayenne back out. The mixing will only take a minute or so and then it can sit until the kabobs are done.

Tips for Making the Best Kabob Glaze:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs and spices, flavorful oils, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup will elevate the taste of your glaze.
- Balance the flavors: Make sure your glaze has a good balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. You can adjust the proportions of ingredients to suit your personal taste.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a vibrant flavor to kabob glazes. Chop them finely or crush them in a mortar and pestle to release their full aroma.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating kabob glazes. Try different combinations of ingredients and flavors to find your favorite recipe.
- Let the glaze marinate: Marinating the kabobs in the glaze for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to penetrate the meat. This will result in more flavorful and juicy kabobs.
