One of my very favorite things in life is fajitas—I seriously cannot get enough of them—so since it’s summer (for a few more glorious days anyway) I thought I’d change things up a bit and combine two of my favorite things (fajitas and grilling) and come up with something amazing….Grilled Chicken Fajita Kabobs!
2 large green peppers cut into bite sized chunks (red and yellow peppers work well too and look gorgeous)
1 medium to large onion cut into chunks (same size as peppers and chicken)
1 package of fajita seasoning
1/4 tsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup (or less) water
bamboo (or metal skewers)
2. Cut chicken into bit size pieces (small enough to cook quickly, but large enough to fit securely on the skewers) and add chicken to one of the shallow dishes, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Cut peppers and onions into bite size pieces (the same size as the chicken), add peppers and onions to the second shallow baking dish, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Heat grill to appropriate temperature, I usually put my food on when the grill has reached 350°. *If using bamboo skewers place skewers into warm water for at least 30 minutes before putting on the grill.*
5. Place chicken, peppers and onions on skewers, leaving room at the top and bottom to allow for easy pickup, alternating between the three until skewers are full.
6. Place skewers on the grill until chicken is cooked through. This usually takes just a couple of minutes per side.
7. You can either eat the chicken fajita kabobs on the skewer or slide the chicken and veggies off onto a warm flour tortilla and add your favorite toppings (this is the way I prefer).
There you have it…a super easy, somewhat quick, and completely delicious dinner that’s a yummy variation of a Mexican favorite! Bon Appétit !

That looks so delicious! I haven't had any grilled chicken in way too long! Hopefully I will get some at a bbq this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey are so good and I don't really like chicken. I hope you get some yummy grilled chicken this weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI need to make myself try these. They look too good!
ReplyDeleteThey are SO good and super easy, I don't think I'll be making fajitas the old way ever again!
DeleteI love this recipe but I would add Red peppers & pineapple to mine also!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the pineapple (I'm not a big fan) but red peppers would be SO good in this...I didn't have any when I made mine or they would have been there.
Delete(grilled chicken kabobs review) oh these look so good. I make mine with lots of tomato's. Green peppers give me heartburn:(
ReplyDeleteTomatoes are a good idea...I'm gonna have to try that next time!
DeleteI make the Kabobs the same way only I add mushrooms too
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I love kabobs
