Grilled Chicken Kebabs (Juicy & Flavorful!)

Grilled Chicken Kebabs – juicy, flavorful, tender chicken pieces. Ready in 30 minutes. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

Today I am sharing one of our go to grill recipes.

This chicken is lightly saucy. Sticky on the outside. Tender and juicy on the inside. And grilled to golden brown grill perfection.

These kebabs have so much flavor. Thanks to the marinade. It has lime juice, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, green onions, and garlic.

That’s the key to a super yummy grilled chicken. A marinade with lots of fresh and bold flavors.

And marinating the chicken for a long time. But the chicken will still be super delicious even if you don’t marinade overnight. Because the kebabs get drenched in a sauce immediately after grilling. The sauce is made of lime juice, olive oil, green onions, minced garlic, and fresh basil.

What to serve with these grilled chicken kebabs?

These hasselback potatoes with lemon and roasted garlic. Or these oven baked french fries. Or this coconut mango quinoa salad.

You could also do a simple salad. I love this dressing for house salads.
