Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup pure honey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight preferred).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or broil if using an oven).
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers.
Grill each side for about 5 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve immediately, drizzling with any remaining marinade.

Notes

For juicier skewers, consider using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
You can add bell peppers or onions to the skewers for extra flavor and color.
If you’re short on time, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes.
