Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1 bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces alternately onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Brush the skewers with leftover marinade in the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor, but discard any remaining marinade afterward.

Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your choice of rice or a light salad.
