Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers

Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers are a flavorful and satisfying dish that brings together the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The chicken is marinated in a rich honey-garlic sauce that tenderizes the meat and infuses it with irresistible flavor. These skewers are ideal for grilling and make a great choice for summer barbecues, weeknight dinners, or festive gatherings. The bright, colorful vegetables not only add a beautiful presentation but also offer a delightful crunch alongside the juicy, glazed chicken pieces.

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
  

For the Skewers:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

• Wooden or metal skewers
  
  

Instructions

1. Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, oil, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the chicken: Add the cubed chicken to a resealable bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

3. Prepare skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

4. Assemble skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red and green bell peppers, and onion pieces alternately onto the skewers.

5. Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

6. Grill the skewers: Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred.

7. Serve: Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with rice, salad, or your favorite side dishes.
