Chicken Skewers: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4-6 skewers

Instructions:

1. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting the chicken while grilling.
3. Add the cubed chicken into the bowl with the marinade and stir until the chicken pieces are well coated.
4. Cover the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.
6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
7. Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the chicken skewers hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.

These chicken skewers are a flavorful and easy-to-make gourmet dish that will impress your guests. The combination of honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice gives the chicken a tangy-sweet flavor that is perfectly balanced with the smoky char from the grill. The chicken pieces turn out succulent and juicy, making this recipe a hit for any occasion.

Serving suggestions:

Serve the chicken skewers hot off the grill with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or salad for a complete meal. They are also great as appetizers for a party. Pair them with a refreshing drink, such as lemonade or iced tea, to complete the meal. Bon appétit!
