Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 10 pieces wooden or metal skewers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic (finely chop the garlic cloves), lemon juice, ground black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes (if using).
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken to a sealed container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
