Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 300 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch).
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, removing any tough outer leaves.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Add the cubed chicken and halved Brussels sprouts to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Thread the marinated chicken and Brussels sprouts onto the skewers, alternating between the two to create a visually appealing pattern.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) if baking.
Cook the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and has an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). If baking, place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil and grill/bake for the same amount of time, turning halfway through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or salad for a complete meal.
