This Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Kabobs recipe is perfect for summer grill parties and family dinners. Ready in about 30 minutes and perfect for meal prep!
Begin by slicing your boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Once sliced, add to a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder then coat in ½ cup teriyaki sauce. Cover the chicken and let it marinade in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or as long as overnight.
While the chicken is marinading, chop the green pepper, mango and red onion into one inch chunks then begin getting your outdoor grill prepped, or indoor grill pan heated.
Once the chicken is done marinating, spray your metal skewers with cooking spray and add a cube of chicken, then a chunk of pepper, mango and red onion and repeat until the kabob is full. Repeat until all the chicken and veg are used and you have about 8-10 skewers of teryaki chicken.Brush entire kabob with additional teriyaki sauce then add to a heated grill or grill pan at medium heat.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until a char has developed. Flip the skewer and cook on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Make sure to rotate the chicken so all the sides cook and get some char.
Once finished place on a serving tray and brush with additional teriyaki sauce if desired and top grilled chicken teriyaki kabobs with diced green onion, sesame seeds and additional teriyaki sauce then serve with cooked rice if desired. Enjoy!
To store cooked leftover chicken teriyaki kabobs remove from the kabobs and place in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To re-warm leftovers place in the microwave and heat for 30-60 seconds until chicken and veg is heated through.
Prepping Ahead of Time
Cut the chicken, add in your homemade teriyaki sauce then seal it all in a bag or airtight container and let it marinade overnight. You do not have to marinade the chicken this long, but it helps the teriyaki flavor develop wonderfully. If you want to further prep ahead of time you can add everything to the prepped skewers up to 12 hours ahead of time and place them covered in the fridge until you are ready to grill them.
