honey soy chicken kabobs

Today’s recipe is a simple Citrus Honey Soy Marinade that satisfies a hungry family or a great party platter. Marinate it over Chicken Kabobs for the ideal easy summer grilling dinner....

Hi, all! Hope you had a great Easter weekend! The weather has been beautiful here and it’s time to get the garden together in furious fashion. With spring cleaning, gardening, and Easter all 

converging, simple meals have been the menu lately. You really can’t beat grilling for easy dinners.

 I love to fire up the grill any time of year and definitely don’t wait till the summer. Today’s recipe is a very simple Citrus  Marinade that will satisfy a hungry family. I know that whenever I find something to satisfy both of my biggest critics, it’s a home-run at our house.

 This marinade is perfect for chicken and pork dishes. I will bet that it is awesome with salmon as well, although I have never used it.

If you want to make chicken kabobs with this marinade, cut your meat and vegetables about 1 – 1.5 inches thick. The key is to keep the thickness even. You can use any vegetables you like such as red or green pepper, onions, and mushrooms. Generous pineapple chunks are beautiful when grilled as well. I absolutely love grilled pineapple because of how the grill caramelizes the pineapple edges slightly.

Citrus  Marinade

• 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over chicken or pork. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.

Do you think any season is good for grilling or do you wait until the warmer months? How do you keep it all together making great meals when your family’s schedule is so busy? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a Great Day!
