Grilled Beef and Chicken Kabobs with Homemade Marinade
These Beef and Chicken Kabobs are a go-to favorite in our house when the weather warms up, and they’re packed with juicy stew beef, tender chicken breast, and a rainbow of bell peppers and purple onions.

Ingredients
- 1 lb stew beef cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 of each green yellow, and red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 large purple onion cut into chunks
- optional - zucchini slices whole mushrooms
- grilling supplies - Wooden or metal skewers
DIY marinade ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional for a hint of sweetness
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients.
- Place beef and chicken into separate zip-top bags or bowls. Pour marinade evenly between the two. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread beef, chicken, and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for color and variety. (I find it easy if the piece of each end is meat and not vegetable, things stay on the skewer easier when flipping.)
- Grill for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and beef reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: We love serving these kabobs with a side of rice, a fresh green salad, or simply some warm pita bread and hummus for a light summer dinner.
