Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup honey, preferably raw or local
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin recommended
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Wooden or metal skewers
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Fresh lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, minced chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade. Stir to coat all pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Clean the grill grates thoroughly.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
