how to make Grilled Chicken Kebab

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, boneless & skinless
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 orange bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 red onion
6 oz white mushrooms
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp oil (canola or olive)
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1½ tsp ground paprika
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Sriracha)

Directions:

Start by cutting the chicken into about 1" – 1 1/2" pieces. Cube the peppers and onions into uniform pieces about the size of the chicken.
In a bowl, combine all the dry seasonings: mix together the paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a different bowl, mix the ingredients for the marinade: combine mayonnaise, oil, hot sauce, minced garlic, and honey.
Combine the cut vegetables, the whole mushrooms, and chicken. Season and toss in the wet marinade, then sprinkle the dry seasonings and toss to combine. Marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours (or overnight).
Thread the chicken and vegetables onto grilling skewers.
Grill for 12-15 minutes over medium heat, turning the skewers as needed so all sides are cooked (cooking time will vary depending on your grill and size of ingredients).
Serve and enjoy, friends.

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, up to overnight.
