For the skewers

2 lbs chicken breast, cut into cubes Can use chicken thighs for juiciness.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Grilling

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.
Grill skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.

Garnish with fresh herbs for added color.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or skillet to keep juicy. Consider preparing the marinade a day in advance for deeper flavor.
