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.
