Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dice the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes, ensuring they’re evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Place the chicken cubes in the marinade, tossing to coat. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor!).
Grilling
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even grilling.
- Heat your grill to medium-high. If you’re using an indoor grill or grill pan, preheat that as well.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally. They’re done when the edges turn golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cooked skewers can be frozen for up to two months. Reheat by warming on a grill or in the oven at 350°F (175°C).
