Summer is all about grilling outdoors, no-bake desserts, and refreshing drinks. And I’m always on the lookout for quick easy meals that come together in a pinch. Don’t get me wrong, I love to cook, but on hot summer days I just want to spend less time in the kitchen and more time outdoors with my family. These chicken kebabs or kabobs fall in the category of quick, easy, delicious meals that are loved by the whole family even the picky eaters! I have two versions of chicken kabobs on my blog, this fajita version and a simpler version of grilled chicken kabobs with basic seasonings. So choose your favorite! If you love fajitas as much as I do, also try my Chicken Fajita Bowls, Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas recipe, baked chicken fajitas, cheesy fajita chicken casserole, and chickpea fajitas.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make these chicken kabobs:
Chicken Breasts – boneless and skinless chicken breasts. You can also use chicken thighs if you like. If using frozen chicken, then thaw completely in the fridge overnight. Vegetables – Colorful bell peppers and a yellow onion, basically the things that go into any fajita recipe. Seasonings – I like to use my homemade fajita seasoning blend, but feel free to use a store-bought one. Lime juice is also a must! Oil – I prefer olive oil for its flavor and buy the one with a high smoke point, but feel free to use other kinds of oils with high smoke points such as avocado oil, or grapeseed oil.
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

How To Cook Chicken Kabobs In The Oven
If you’re not grilling, you can totally make this in the oven for an easy dinner on any day. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C), and cook for 20-25 minutes turning halfway through.
Storing Tips
Fridge: Store the leftover chicken kabobs in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Freezer: You can also freeze grilled kabobs for up to 2 months. I personally don’t love the texture of the vegetables after they have been frozen and thawed, but if it works for you, then they freeze ok.
