Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
In another bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, adding bell peppers or onions if desired.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
While grilling, whisk together honey and soy sauce in a small bowl. Drizzle over cooked skewers before serving.
