Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1-inch wide.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (or overnight for a deeper flavor).

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, weaving the meat onto the skewer in an ‘S’ shape to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Brush the grill or grill pan with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the grill.

Step 8

Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as peanut sauce or a creamy yogurt-based dip, and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
