Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium cantaloupe
- 1 medium honeydew melon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes if using to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour if time allows).
Step 5
While the chicken marinates, cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons into 1-inch cubes or use a melon baller for a fun presentation.
Step 6
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Thread the marinated chicken and melon pieces alternately onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 8
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy these sweet and savory kabobs as is, or pair them with a side salad for a complete meal!
