Grilled Chicken Kabob Recipe with Purple Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts are hearty enough for early spring, light enough for late summer.
I’m reposting this because it’s an easy way to use chicken and your grill while social distancing. Use any kind of potato; I’m using purple, as we love them.
Grilled Chicken Kabobs is that wonderful dish the whole family can help prepare. Much of this can be prepped the night before. You can cut the chicken into 2 inch pieces, semi-cook the brussels and potatoes.
Once prep is finished, these go on the grill for about 7 to 9 minutes. I use a quality extra virgin olive oil before and after with a big squeeze of lemon. As soon as the grilled chicken kabobs come off the grill, they get a nice drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and sprinkling of fresh crumbled feta cheese. This could be the time to add another sprinkling of fresh herbs.

This grilled chicken kabob recipe will do well with an herb like thyme, rosemary, herbs de provence or even za’atar. I usually have fresh thyme and rosemary all year on my porch and like to use those whenever possible.
Not all chicken is created equally, and I prefer air-chilled versus water chilled, whenever possible. If you are near a Whole Foods and have Amazon Prime, they often have air-chilled on their special. Sometimes its whole chickens; chicken pieces on the bone or boneless breasts. They usually promote one type at a time, and I will stock up.
There was a time we didn’t like boneless chicken breasts because chicken on the bone is tastier, but when the chicken is quality chicken and not over-cooked, it can make the most delicious and family friendly meal.
How to Make Grilled Chicken Kabobs: Questions You May Have
Which skewers to use to make grilled chicken kabobs recipe?
You can use bamboo skewers, but soak them in water for an hour first to prevent burning. If you don’t have time for that put foil on the edges.
You can use metal skewers which are reusable.
How High Should the Heat Be?
Grill directly on heat that is about 400 degrees F. Grilled Chicken Kabobs are best grilled hot and fast. The veggies in this recipe are par-cooked and you don’t want to over-grill the chicken. You can also bake these in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
What If I can’t get Brussels Sprouts or Purple Potatoes?
Use whatever vegetable you like. Purple potatoes can be substituted with smaller white potatoes. I like the purple potatoes for these reasons in this post, and because they are just the right size, adding a nice color.
A lot of people put peppers and onions on kabobs. It might surprise you that those aren’t my favorite for kabobs because they don’t tend to cook enough, and I don’t like crunchy peppers. I also avoid putting citrus right next to meat.
What Herbs or Spices Work with the Grilled Kabob Recipe?
I love herbs de provence and za’atar for chicken recipes like these. If you want to use a single , rosemary, thyme, or oregano works well here.
