Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast Boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce Store-bought or homemade for ultimate flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For grilling and flavor.
  • 1 red bell pepper red bell pepper Cut into chunks.
  • 1 green bell pepper green bell pepper Cut into chunks.
  • 1 small red onion Cut into wedges.
  • skewers Wooden or metal, soaked if using wooden.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the teriyaki sauce. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  2. While the chicken marinates, soak the skewers in water if they are wooden. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
  2. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
  3. Remove from the grill, let it cool for a few minutes, and enjoy delicious, juicy teriyaki skewers!

Notes

Feel free to customize this recipe! Add pineapple chunks for a sweet-and-sour twist or substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For stronger flavors, marinate longer; use fresh ingredients for vibrant flavors.
