Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini) for skewering

Instructions

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and alternate with vegetables if desired.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Place skewers on the grill.
Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or drizzle over the top.
