How To Grill Chicken Kebabs

A kebab is a versatile dish that is as easy to make as it is fun to eat. Use chicken breast cut into chunks for a light and satisfying meal that even the pickiest eaters can customize. Marinate the chicken in your favorite marinade overnight for a robust flavor. Before making your kebabs, be sure to soak wooden skewers before placing the kebabs on the grill to prevent the skewers from burning. Add vegetables to your kebabs like bell peppers, onions and even cherry tomatoes. You will want to cook the vegetables and chicken separately because they will cook at different temperatures and times. This will prevent uneven cooking and you can mix the ingredients when they have all been cooked. In this video, Chef Mark provides an online cooking lesson for making delicious grilled chicken kebabs. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
