Omaha Steaks Chicken Skewers with Bell Peppers & Onions
What it is
These are pre-assembled skewers featuring marinated chicken pieces interspersed with colorful bell pepper chunks and onion slices. The chicken is typically cut into bite-sized cubes, making them easy to eat. The vegetables are chosen to complement the chicken and provide a pleasing texture and visual appeal when cooked.
How people cook with it
These skewers are a versatile option for quick weeknight meals or casual outdoor gatherings. They simplify meal preparation by having the ingredients already prepped and combined.
- Grilling for a smoky flavor
- Baking for a hands-off approach
- Pan-searing for a quick stovetop meal
To cook, you can grill these skewers over medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or pan-sear them in a hot skillet with a little oil for 8-12 minutes, ensuring even cooking on all sides. They are best served hot, allowing the flavors to meld together.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike homemade skewers, these come pre-marinated and assembled, saving significant prep time. The specific marinade and cut of chicken may also differ from what one might prepare at home, offering a consistent flavor profile.

Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful meal solution.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused skewers frozen until ready to cook. Once thawed, they should be cooked within 2-3 days and stored in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept in a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn if refreezing is not recommended.
