Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 10-20 minutes | Yield: 6 Kabobs
Ingredients
Oil, for grill grates
3 large Bako sweet potatoes, peeled & chopped
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
¼ cup lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Skewers
Directions
Set grill to medium heat. Once hot, clean and lightly oil grates with oil. Whisk together cilantro, lime juice, honey, olive oil, paprika, and Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a large bowl; transfer half to a small bowl and reserve about 2 tablespoons for basting.
Add in the vegetables and chicken to remaining marinade and toss to coat; let stand for about 5 minutes.
Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers and discard the marinade. Place the kabobs on the grill, turning occasionally, and brush once with the marinade until chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender. Depending on the type of grill, this may take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes.
When done, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve.
