Scale
For the Kabobs
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped onion (half white, half red)
- Wooden skewers (if using), soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or sour cream as a substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup sweet red chili sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Toss the chicken in sauce: In a zip-lock bag, combine the chicken pieces and half of the Bang Bang sauce. Toss well to coat, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Skewer the ingredients: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, discarding excess marinade. Thread the peppers and onions onto separate skewers for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers: Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred. Grill the vegetable skewers until tender, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Finish and serve: Remove the skewers from the grill, pour the remaining Bang Bang sauce over the chicken, and serve warm.
Notes
- Double the sauce if you want extra for dipping.
- You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt for a richer flavor.
- Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha to the sauce.
- Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
