Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and chop the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken and asparagus in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly. Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to broil with the rack positioned in the upper third of the oven.
Step 7
Thread the chicken cubes and asparagus pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the two to create an even distribution.
Step 8
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. If broiling, place the kabobs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and broil for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Step 9
Remove the kabobs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
