Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

Vegetables (optional)

1 bell pepper cut into chunks any color
1 small red onion cut into chunks
1 zucchini cut into slices

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Prepare the Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated chicken and optional vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.

Grill the Skewers

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.

Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference. These skewers can also be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if a grill is not available.
