I love using rosemary with this chicken because it packs big flavor. The combination of rosemary and citrus, combined with garlic, soy sauce and some other ingredients is great because you can get a great flavor pay off even if you only have a short time to marinate your meat.

Kabobs or Skewers? What’s the Difference?

So kabobs are the actual food name and skewers are the long “pin” that hold them together! I’ve used the term pretty interchangeably my whole life, right or wrong!

Ingredients For These Rosemary Chicken Kabobs:

chicken breasts diced fresh rosemary olive oil spicy mustard soy sauce lemon juice kosher salt ground black pepper minced garlic

Do You Have To Use Rosemary?

Our herb garden got busy this year with rosemary, so I had lots to use. And rosemary is great in this recipe because it packs a big flavor punch. BUT of course you absolutely can sub out rosemary for other herbs are well. And before you ask, you can absolutely use fresh OR dried herbs in this recipe! Here are a few ideas if you don’t like rosemary:

Basil Thyme Oregano

How To Grill Kabobs

These are really simple. You can prep the chicken in the morning and at dinner they will be all marinated and ready to go. The marinade is quick and you most likely have all the ingredients currently in your kitchen.

What Temperature Does Chicken Need To Be Grilled To?

Chicken is always recommended to be cooked to 165°F to kill any bacteria. These kabobs will cook quickly, especially if the chicken isn’t packed tightly

Wooden or Metal Skewers?

I used wooden skewers for these that I soaked FOREVER in water so they wouldn’t burn…and they still burned. Oh well… But you can honestly use either or metal. Metal are great because they are reusable and you don’t have to worry about them burning.

Can You Bake Kabobs?

Absolutely! If you want to make these but don’t want to fire up your grill they can easily be baked at 450°F for about 15-20 minutes. Make sure to check the chicken temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Tips For Serving Chicken Kabobs:

I would allow for 2 kabobs per person as a good rule of thumb. To make these more of a “full meal” you can add veggies such as onions, peppers, and mushrooms to your kabobs as well! Serve these with a variety of dipping sauces for a fun party idea!
