When it comes to summer gatherings, a flavorful and easy-to-make dish is always a winner. This mouth-watering recipe for grilled chicken skewers with a sweet and tangy honey-mustard dipping sauce is sure to impress your family and friends.
Preparation is Key
Before you start grilling, make sure to soak your wooden skewers in warm water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. This simple step will ensure your skewers stay intact and your dish looks fabulous.
A Flavorful Marinade
In a large non-reactive bowl, whisk together orange zest, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, and soy sauce. Add your boneless, skinless chicken breasts, tenders, or thighs, cut into 1-1/2-inch squares, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble and Grill
Heat your grill pan or gas/charcoal grill to medium heat (around 350°F). Rub the grill with a towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and alternately thread 5 pieces of bell pepper and 4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, leaving 1/4 inch between each piece. Season with salt and place on the grill. Cook, covered and turning often, until the chicken is opaque, firm, and cooked through, and the peppers are charred, about 30-40 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve your grilled chicken skewers immediately with a side of honey-mustard dipping sauce. This sweet and tangy combination will elevate your dish to a whole new level. With a total cooking time of just 1 hour and 20 minutes, this recipe is perfect for a quick and delicious summer meal.
