Ingredients

2 pound Boned chicken breasts
1/3 cup Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Ground ginger
2 Green Peppers, cut into

Directions

1
Remove the skin from the chicken breasts and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
2
Cut the green peppers into 1-inch pieces.
3
If using fresh mushrooms, slice them into thick pieces; if using canned, drain them well.
4
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger until the sugar is dissolved.
5
Add the chicken cubes to the soy sauce mixture and toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
6
Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally if possible.
7
Prepare wooden skewers by soaking them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
8
Thread the chicken pieces, green peppers, and mushroom caps alternately onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each item for even cooking.
9
Reserve any remaining marinade from the bowl.
10
Stir the honey into the reserved marinade to create the basting glaze.
11
Arrange the assembled kabobs in a single layer on a microwave-safe dish or baking pan.
12
Brush the kabobs generously with the honey-soy glaze.
13
Microwave the kabobs uncovered on high for 5 to 9 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time.
14
Continue cooking until the chicken is opaque and cooked through and the peppers are tender-crisp.
15
Brush the cooked kabobs with any remaining glaze before serving.
16
Serve the chicken kabobs hot as a main dish or allow to cool and serve cold as an appetizer.
