Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp liquid smoke
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 onions
• 12 cherry tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a shallow dish, combine liquid smoke, brown sugar, pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for several hours, turning the chicken occasionally to marinate evenly.

2. Prepare the Kabobs:

   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
   • Slice the onions into chunks suitable for skewering.
   • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers alternately with chunks of onion and cherry tomatoes.

3. Grill the Kabobs:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Grill the kabobs for about 7-8 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Serve:

   • Serve the grilled chicken kabobs over rice or your favorite side dishes.

Additional Tips:

• Marinating the chicken for several hours helps infuse it with flavor and ensures tenderness when grilled.
• Soaking wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before threading prevents them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to customize the vegetables on the kabobs according to your preference, such as adding bell peppers or mushrooms.

This recipe not only provides a delicious meal but also offers a balance of flavors and nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a family dinner or a gathering with friends during warm weather months. Enjoy the blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors in every bite of these grilled chicken kabobs!
