Ingredients

Marinade

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
6 tablespoons brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic minced

Kabobs

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large red onion cut into thick slices
1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 colored bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
vegetable oil for greasing the grill

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, pepper, and garlic.
Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and mix well to combine.
Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
When you’re ready to cook the kebabs, soak wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grease the grill with vegetable oil.
When ready to grill, thread the chicken and vegetables onto the prepared skewers.
Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken kabobs.
Grill the chicken kabobs until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, turning as needed. It should take about 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Soy sauce: I recommend using reduced-sodium soy sauce so that you can better control the salt level in the marinade.

Brown sugar: You can use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your liking.

Kosher salt: If you're using table salt, use half of the amount.

Chicken: Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.

Veggies: Feel free to add more veggies if you would like. Just be sure to cut the veggies to the same size so that they can cook in the same amount of time.
