Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (any color)

1 small red onion, cut into wedges

1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

Sesame seeds for garnish

Green onions, sliced for garnish

Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.

    Add the cubed chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

      Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

        Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini pieces.

          Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

            Brush additional marinade onto the skewers while they cook for extra flavor (if desired).

              Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

                Sprinkle the finished skewers with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
