Chicken and Orange Kabobs

By Pam@IW 38 Comments

Grab your tongs and fire up the grill. There is still plenty of summer left to enjoy these Chicken and Orange Kabobs!

organe chicken final

I traveled backed to Wisconsin this past May to see my family and I spent a few days with my brother Joe and his wife Peggy. Joe is a pretty good grillmaster but Peggy is really a “master chef” in the kitchen and baker as well. She is always experimenting with new recipes and different foods and I can honestly say that I have never had a meal at her house that hasn’t been amazing!

We had these Chicken and Orange Kabobs for dinner one evening and they were delicious. Peggy worked her magic in the kitchen and Joe finished up with his on the grill. I so loved these Kabobs that I asked Peggy to write up the recipe for us and snap a picture so that we could share this deliciousness with all of the Imperfect Women readers.

Chicken and Orange Kabobs

6 Tbsps. low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsps. rice vinegar
2 Tbsps. fresh orange juice
1 tsp grated orange peel
2 Tbsps. honey
1 tsp peeled and finely grated or minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove minced
1 ½ lbs. chicken breast tenders, cut into 1″ pieces
3 navel oranges cut into 1” wedges
Cooking spray

Combine first 7 ingredients in medium bowl.
Reserve about ¼ cup for basting the kabobs.
Add chicken to remaining marinade and let stand at least 30 minutes.
Prepare grill.
Thread chicken and orange wedges alternately onto metal or wooden skewers. Place kabobs on grill rack coated with cooking spray.
Grill 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is done ~turning and basting frequently with reserved marinade.
Keep an eye on them as they can caramelize quickly because of the honey in the marinade.

Serve over a bed of brown rice.
About 4 servings (2 kabobs each)
