Because if you haven't, you should! They're so good in the summer and perfect for all your backyard cookouts. This recipe is a great combo of sweet and savory and it was really easy to throw together! You can mix it up by adding your favorite summer veggies. For a little added texture, try adding sesame seeds to your chicken before grilling. ![strawberry, chicken, zucchini, and squash kabobs](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/June%202017%20Buzz%20Blog/straw%20kabobs-3%20(2).jpg?width=570&name=straw%20kabobs-3%20(2).jpg)   **Ingredients:**  2 chicken breasts, diced into large chunks (approx 6 pieces per breast) 1 yellow squash, cut into thick rounds 1 zucchini, cut into thick rounds 12 large California Giant strawberries, stems removed, kept whole Zest of 1 lemon 3 T extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp kosher salt 10 turns of fresh cracked pepper 1 T honey 1 T balsamic vinegar Metal skewers (or if using wood, make sure to soak them in water for 15 min prior)  ![strawberry, chicken, zucchini, and squash kabobs](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/June%202017%20Buzz%20Blog/straw%20kabobs-2.jpg?width=581&name=straw%20kabobs-2.jpg) **Instructions:**  - Pre-heat a grill on high - Toss the diced chicken with 2 T olive oil, lemon zest, ½ tsp salt, and pepper - Toss the sliced summer squash with 1 T olive oil and ½ tsp salt - Build your skewers by alternating the strawberries, chicken, and squash so that each skewer has the same amount of all - Grill the skewers both sides of the skewers for 4 minutes each then close the lid and let the grill finish cooking the chicken.  Remove skewers when chicken is cooked throughout (approx 4 more minutes) \*\*if your grill is hotter/colder, adjust the times so that the chicken isn’t undercooked or burnt - While the skewers are resting, mix together the honey and balsamic vinegar.  Drizzle the mixture over top of the skewers and enjoy! ![strawberry, chicken, zucchini, and squash kabobs](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/June%202017%20Buzz%20Blog/straw%20kabobs-8.jpg?width=638&name=straw%20kabobs-8.jpg)   Tags [summertime](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/topic/summertime), [Strawberry](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/topic/strawberry), [entertaining](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/topic/entertaining) Posts you might enjoy... ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c8112df40f311e71cd838/a466a2e3-569e-49d1-afb4-066a572e4af4/IMG_5443.jpg) [Guest Blog: 5 Facts To Know Before Produce Shopping](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/guest-blog-5-facts-to-know-before-produce-shopping) ![](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-3.png?width=350&name=undefined-3.png) [Cool Tips to Stay Hydrated this Summer](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/cool-tips-to-stay-hydrated-this-summer) ![](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12_February_Newsletter/1.png?width=350&name=1.png) [Our Berry Best Margaritas for National Margarita Day!](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/cheers-to-national-margarita-day) You might also enjoy...
