Kabobs don’t just have to be for outdoor grilling! These Chicken & Vegetable Skillet Kabobs are a quick and easy meal that even the kids can help make. Plus, there is a simple seasoned spread to brush on kabobs for a delicious flavor.
My kids have been more enthusiastic than ever this summer when it comes to helping out in the kitchen. Weekly they are making their own breakfast, helping prep meals, and at one point asked to take cooking classes.
This week is their last cooking class of the session and they are pretty bummed. That just means I will have to utilize them in the kitchen even more. It also gives me an opportunity to sneak in some math skills, pattern practice and fine motor skills. Plus, one day in the future they will even be cooking for me without my help, right?
With our hectic schedules, quick & easy dinners are essential throughout the week. When we plan meals on Sunday, I go over our schedule to see which days limit our dinner time and then get the boys’ opinions on what they think we should make one or two evenings.
Our backyard garden is thriving right now with peppers and grape tomatoes. Corbin asked what we could make to use some of the vegetables he picked from the garden this weekend. I suggested some kabobs and of course he was onboard, because he knew that was something he could help with.

The new Land O Lakes® Soft Squeeze™ Spread makes it super easy and convenient for the little ones to help out. Corbin loves being able to do as much as possible when helping in the kitchen, so being able simply squeeze it out of the bottle right out of the refrigerator is a big deal. I didn’t realize I really needed such product, but I can’t live without it now. It is made with real butter and stays clean and crumb-free.
Brush the prepared seasoned spread onto each skewer, covering all sides.
Heat a cast iron skillet (or non-stick pan) on med/high heat.
Add skewers and cook for 4-6 mins (rotating every couple minutes), until vegetables are tender and the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°. Salt to taste.
