Lime and Honey Chicken Skewers

Lime and Honey Chicken Skewers

I love skewers and kabobs!  It’s so easy to mix and match meats, veggies and even fruit!  Skewers and kabobs add  a nice variety to the same old grilled chicken breast (of course, don’t discount that chicken breast…there are some great recipes to be had for those too!)
I want food that tastes great and like I spent a lot of time on it…without…um…actually spending a lot of time on it!  So, I’ve looked for recipes that help me do this.  Lime and Honey Chicken Skewers is just one of those recipes.  
With a quick and simple marinade and very little prep time – this may become your favorite “go to” recipe too!

Lime and Honey Chicken Skewers

Ingredients
        1 tablespoon vegetable oil
        2 tablespoons honey
        3 tablespoons soy sauce
        the juice of 1 lime
        2 garlic cloves, minced
        1-2 teaspoon Siracha (this adds the “kick”)
        2 tablespoon cilantro
        red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
        1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Instructions
    1.    In a small bowl, combine your ingredients, through the red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly.
    2.    Pour marinade over chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour.
    3.    Once the chicken has marinated an appropriate amount of time.  Cut chicken into large chunks and skewer*.  Some say to marinate the chicken after putting on the skewers.  Either way works.
    4.    Grill on medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until juices run clear.

* Important note:  If you are using bamboo instead of metal skewers, make sure you soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 5 minutes before skewering the chicken.
