As we gear up to celebrate the 4th of July, there's no better way to enjoy family time than by gathering around the grill for a delightful summer feast. At Dynamite Insurance, we believe in cherishing these special moments with loved ones. That's why we're excited to share a quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for your Independence Day celebrations: Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewers.
Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewers Recipe
Ingredients:
2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Brush the chicken skewers with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for that irresistible smoky flavor.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is cooked through and has a beautiful char, remove the skewers from the grill. Serve them hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
These Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewers are not only a breeze to make but also a crowd-pleaser that everyone will love. Pair them with a fresh summer salad or classic corn on the cob for a complete meal.
As you celebrate the 4th of July, remember that family time is precious, and creating delicious memories together is what truly matters. From all of us at Dynamite Insurance, we wish you a safe, happy, and flavorful Independence Day!
