Thanks to Ricardo Cuisine for sponsoring this post.
I have to tell you I am so excited to share this recipe with you. This one is a flavour explosion. It’s packed with so many great elements. All of those elements come together for one amazing recipe.
The inspiration for this recipe comes from Ricardo Cuisine. I was browsing through the Chicken Recipes and Ricardo’s recipe for Chicken, Peach, and Chorizo Fricassee jumped right out at me. I was mesmerized.
Immediately I knew I wanted to make that recipe. However it’s about a bazillion degrees here right now. So I bookmarked Ricardo’s original recipe to whip up on our first cool day.
Then I put on my thinking cap, as all us cool kids do, and thought of how to make this recipe on the grill. It quickly hit me that it would work beautifully on a stick. I mean everything is awesome on a stick. Am I right?
As many of you know, I am a serious grill addict. Usually I share my grilling recipes on my grill blog, but this one is so wicked special I wanted to share it here on Cravings. This recipe blew my mind, it exceeded all my expectations.
This recipe is really adventurous but don’t let that scare you. I’m a picky eater and I gobbled this up like it was my last meal. I may, or may not, have given hubs a little shove out of the way so I could grab the last one.
My motto is “she who makes the food always gets the last piece”. I figure when you have a motto you should defend that motto against anyone who tries to mock it. I’m doing my duty. Or I’m just a greedy eater. Probably the latter.
If you get a chance to make this one I highly suggest you do so immediately. Also make lots of extra kebabs. You’re going to need them. Possibly some body armour as well. Just in case you invite me over when you make it.
Make sure you swing by Ricardo Cuisine for tons of recipe inspiration. I’ve saved about 12 recipes I want to make as soon as possible. There are tons of grilling recipes for all my fellow grill fanatics too. You will want to browse around all day long.

- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 sausages cut into small rounds
- 4 fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1/2 large sweet onion cut into chunky pieces
- 1 yellow pepper cut into chunky pieces
- 1/4 olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of your favourite BBQ sauce if desired, honey based sauces pair well with it
-
If using wooden skewers soak them in water for about an hour before you need them.
-
Preheat the grill to a medium heat.
-
Oil grill grates carefully.
-
Cut all of your ingredients into cubes that are similar in size and shape.
-
Load the ingredients onto the skewers. Be sure not to overcrowd the skewers so things cook evenly. Layer any which way you like. I enjoy making mine all a bit unique.
-
In a medium size bowl whisk olive oil, and white wine vinegar together. Add all the spices to the bowl and whisk again. Brush generously over the kebabs. Tap off excess oil and place on a platter to bring out to the grill.
-
Place you skewers on the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, making sure you cook them as evenly as possible. If you like yours well done with a bit of char just cook them for a few more minutes.
-
I like keeping one side of my grill off so I can move any skewers off the heat if I get flare ups, and also just because it's always nice to have a spot to move things over to if some are cooking slightly quicker than others.
-
If you are a BBQ sauce fanatic you can brush some on right as they come off the grill. Use your favourite kind, but be sure it pairs well with sage.
-
Serve with a big old adventurous smile!

I love this recipe! I have to admit that I’ve never grilled fruit but man does it ever look good! All on a stick, easy cooking, easy eating and clean up!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Brenda. It was so fun to work on this one. Ricardo Cuisine is amazing so I really enjoyed doing this.
Fruit is one of my favourite things to grill. It brings out all that natural sweetness without adding any sugar or calories. Watermelon and plums are amazing on the grill too. And even coconut. I do skewers with coconut and pineapple, and another with papaya and mango. So good.
Aly ~ Aloha Flavor says
Now these make me want to break out the grill! His recipe looks fantastic as well but it’s his Garlic & Honey Glazed Bacon that has me intrigued. Don’t even get me started on those breakfast club sandwiches #brunchforthewin
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Aly. I have one his magazines and I literally want to make every single recipe. He just gets flavour combinations and makes everything look so gorgeous.
We’ll have to grill together one day. I’m so ready for a blogger getaway.

“She who makes the food always gets the last piece…” – Love this motto and love this recipe!
Kim Beaulieu says
Ha, thanks Martha. I live by the motto, daily.
foodwanderings says
Holy ()&_*^)&(^&^YP I need to put my skewers to use before grilling season has come and gone. These peaches, chicken kebabs look to die for. i will probably add turkey sausage. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu says
Ha, I’m busting a gut at your comment. I heart you.
You must grill them. Turkey sausage would rock on these. Have you ever grilled coconut? Also amazing on the grill with chicken. Sounds weird but one of my favourite recipes of all time.
Sandy | Reluctant Entertainer says
LOVE these. Perfect summertime party dish!
Kim Beaulieu says
Awe, thanks Sandy. That’s high praise from you. Everything you do blows me away. I always feel like a guest at your home when I visit your blog. I love how you decorate tables and really make it an experience with the photos.
Cookin Canuck says
I am digging your motto of the cook getting the last piece. I need to live by that rule! These kabobs look absolutely amazing – the sweet and salty combo always wins the day.
Kim Beaulieu says
Right, with hungry hooligans it’s a must. Moms need their fuel for all that running around. Ha.
Thanks. I am so in love with sweet and salty together in one dish. It just takes me to my happy place.
Anonymous says
I absolutely LOVE this and this is one of those meals my entire family would eat! My motto is “She who makes it gets the first AND last piece” 🙂
Kim Beaulieu says
I’m so happy you like it. I love your motto. I’m totally changing mine now. Ha.
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says
I love a recipe with a great combination of sweet and savory, and that’s what you’ve done here. Perfect for a party!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Lori. There’s just something so comforting about that flavour combination. I never cared for it as a kid but as an adult I really love it.
Susan says
Holy yum! Recipes like this make me want a grill so bad, I know I can make it inside but the flavor just isn’t the same. So I’m going to come to your place, sound good?
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Susan. I know right, there’s just something about grilling outdoors. Unfortunately not all everyone is lucky enough to be able to grill outdoors. Even I get lured indoors when it’s below 0. Some days I’ll still brave the cold on the deck, after shovelling snow off it. But other days not so much. I’m loving the weather right now. Perfect grilling weather. You should swing by. I’ll grill you some of these kebabs with a nice blueberry cobbler for dessert.
Sam @ SugarSpunRun says
Haha, I love your motto, I think I”m going to have to adopt that! These kebabs look SO good!
Kim Beaulieu says
Ha, thanks Sam. I learned to fight for food growing up with brothers. Apparently having kids has not softened that competitive urge. Ha.
Megan {Country Cleaver} says
I’m so excited for peach season – Ben and I are going peach picking next weekend!! These look delightful!
Kim Beaulieu says
I’ve never gone peach picking. That must be so much fun picking your own. I’m so jealous. I love peaches, I’m chomping at the bit to make this pie. Best way to kick off peach season.
Thanks Megan. They were such a hit.
Nutmeg Nanny says
Grilling is my all time favorite! We have a grill in the basement but it’s a pain in the ass to roll out and grill so I end up never doing it. I really need to move into a house where I can have a patio and access to a grill 24/7!
Kim Beaulieu says
Mine too Brandy. I’m lucky here. I have a small patio with a grill and smoker, then a small deck with two grills. I use the deck more for the blog as it’s right where I take pics, unfortunately it’s also my daughter’s room. So not fun for her. The patio I use more for days I’m not blogging. But it’s really narrow, if you pull your chair out you can’t walk around it. I’d love one of those multi-level decks that extends onto a pool but unfortunately my dreams don’t match my bank account. Lol!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
These kebabs look fantastic! I could get obsessed with grilled chicken with peaches!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Anna. I am so in love with these. Chicken just goes so well with peaches. I can’t wait to try a skillet version.
Nutmeg Nanny says
I love grilling but I always forget to soak my sticks before making kebabs….I’m the worst….LOL. Love the combo of sweet peaches with chicken and sausage….so much yum!
Kim Beaulieu says
I often forget too so I bought some metal ones. They are such a life saver. You can get really cool shaped ones now too. Super fun.
Amy Basso | Amy's Apron says
What a fabulous flavor combination! YUM!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Amy. I’m a sucker for peaches.
Kimberly Ann @ Bake Love Give says
This looks fantastic! Also, your motto is quite possibly the best motto ever. Words to live by for sure. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Kimberly. And lol, I kinda like it too. The kids know I take that last bite seriously.
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Love everything about these kebabs! Chicken and peaches rock together! Pinned!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much for pinning Anna. xx
Levan @ Crazy Vegan Kitchen says
I’m a vegan myself BUT i must say the seasoning for your recipe looks AMAZING! I am definitely keen on trying it with some veggies this weekend. Thanks for sharing!!!! Amazing stuff.
Kim Beaulieu says
You could likely try this with tofu, or even veggie burgers cut up into cubes. I used to do that a lot when my daughter was a vegetarian. She didn’t eat meat till she was about 14/15 I think. So I had to get really creative with grilling for both her and us.
I swear the seasoning makes all the difference to any grill recipe.
Michelle @ The Complete Savorist says
And now I am mesmerized by what you have created. This is something I could just eat and eat.
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Michelle. That put a big smile on my face.
