Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 6 pieces Rosemary sprigs (sturdy and fresh)
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rosemary sprigs in water for 15 minutes to prevent scorching during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the orange glaze marinade.

Step 4

Reserve 1.5 tablespoons of the glaze for basting during cooking. Pour the rest over the chicken cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully strip the bottom leaves off each rosemary sprig, leaving a few at the top for presentation. Sharpen the bottom of each sprig to make skewering easier.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the rosemary sprigs, distributing them evenly among the sprigs.

Step 7

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grease the grill lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved orange glaze until the chicken is fully cooked, lightly charred, and registers 165°F internally.

Step 9

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh orange zest if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy this light, healthy meal!
