With minimal ingredients and huge flavor these Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs are a tasty summertime treat that you don’t want to miss.

If you are a fan of Kabobs then you have to check out my lemon pepper version. They are so so so good! I love kabobs in general but these with the flavor are where it’s at.

I love Lemon Pepper Chicken in general but when you put it together with peppers and onions you really have something good going. These Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs are my favorite.

I really love grilling during the summertime but I get sick of grilling the same old things like brats and burgers. So we like to switch it up from time to time and these always grace our grill at least 3-4 times a summer.

I have been making various kabobs of sorts for a while now but I wanted to share my absolute favorite ones with you in hopes that you will love them the same as we do.

The marinade contains very little ingredients which lets the lemon pepper really shine through and it works so well with all the papers and onions on this.

I think chicken was just meant for lemon pepper so we already know that it works with that. You can eat these as is or serve them along side some of your favorite side dishes.

Some of my other favorite summertime recipes include Garlic Butter Grilled Mushrooms, BBQ Chicken Salad and Mexican Street Corn.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

Minimal ingredients help this recipe come together super easily.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE AT BOTTOM):

Lemon juice
Olive oil
Black pepper
Minced garlic
Salt
Chicken
Red bell pepper
Green bell pepper
Yellow bell pepper
Red onion

HOW TO MAKE LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN KABOBS, STEP BY STEP:

Place the lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, garlic, and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk to combine.
Add the chicken, bell peppers, and onion to the bowl.
Toss in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes up to 4 hours, stir it every 30 minutes if you can.
Thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them in water for 10 to 30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning them so they brown on all sides. They are done cooking when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Take them off the grill and serve.

How much easier can you get than this? Honestly the longer that you have the vegetables and chicken sit in the marinade the better because you really wan’t those flavors to marry.

The marinade is potent but not overpowering and the pepper really gives it the kick that it deserves. These are a great recipe to grill up any day of the week.

CAN I USE WOODEN SKEWERS?

You absolutely can use wooden skewers! You will want to soak them 10-30 minutes in water before placing them on the grill so they do not burn.

You can find large packs of about 100 wooden skewers at Walmart and they are really great to have on hand if you do not own metal ones.

WHAT TEMPERATURE DO I GRILL KABOBS AT?

We grill these at medium-high heat which is between 350 degrees F and 450 degrees F. This is optimal temperature when you are grilling vegetables and poultry.

WHAT OTHER VEGETABLES CAN I USE?

While we love the variety of peppers and onion in this recipe you can use different vegetables/ingredients such as:

Mushrooms
Zucchini
Squash
White onion
Tomatoes
Asparagus

Any vegetable that grills well will work with these Chicken Kabobs! So feel free to switch it up with other vegetables to your liking if you’d prefer.

CAN I USE BOTTLED LEMON JUICE?

You can in a pinch. Fresh lemon juice is best for this recipe and I always use fresh in my recipes when I can. But if you have all the ingredients on hand besides lemons, bottled lemon juice can be substituted.

HOW TO STORE:

These Chicken Kabobs can be stored either on the skewer or off in an airtight bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat you can quickly sick in the microwave (off skewer) until warmed through.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

You can use any vegetable that you like on your kabobs, we like using tri-colored peppers and red onions.
Medium-high heat is between 375 degrees F and 450 degrees F.
You can easily double this recipe to make more for gatherings.
Chicken breast is best used in this, but you can use chicken tenderloins as well.
The longer the meat and vegetables sit in the marinade the better flavor you will get.
