Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 large peaches pitted and cut into wedges
  • 1 red onion cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • For the Balsamic Marinade:
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Marinade:
  • In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Marinate the Chicken:
  • Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for basting. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Prepare the Skewers:
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken, peach wedges, onion chunks, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for even distribution.
  • Grill the Kabobs:
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Serve:
  • Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with additional balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired.
  • These Balsamic Peach Chicken Kabobs are a perfect mix of sweet and savory flavors, making them ideal for summer cookouts or weeknight grilling. Pair them with a side of rice, salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
