Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes so they don’t burn.
  • Whisk mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for brushing later.
  • Toss chicken with remaining marinade. Cover and chill 20–30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the grates.
  • Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, packing pieces snugly.
  • Grill 8–10 minutes, turning often, until lightly charred and 165°F inside.
  • Brush with reserved marinade during the last minute. Rest briefly, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Variation: Swap in boneless chicken thighs or add a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra tang. No grill? Broil on high, 6–8 inches from heat, turning once until cooked through.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat gently or slice cold for salads or wraps.
