Equipment
- 1 grill
- 1 mixing bowl large
- 1 Skewers metal or soaked wooden
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Skewers
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
- 1 red onion cut into chunks
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces, bell peppers, and onion chunks onto the skewers alternately.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Serving
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes like a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
Storage
- Place any leftover skewers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure skewers are cooled completely before storing.
- To reheat, place skewers in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
