- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 ripe peaches pitted and cut into wedges
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- 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.
Cooking

Serving
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and serve with your choice of side dishes.
Storage
- Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
