Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 inches in size, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, prepare the marinade by combining lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well blended.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan over the stovetop.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve the skewers hot with your favorite side dishes.
