Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into 24 (1-inch) cubes.
- In a small bowl, mix the prepared mustard and honey to make the sauce.
- Thread each chicken cube onto a wooden toothpick.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned.
- Serve the skewers with the honey-mustard dipping sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken cubes in the honey-mustard mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling. If you don't have prepared mustard, you can use Dijon mustard or even a spicy brown mustard for a different kick. Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the skewers with a fresh salad or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with a dipping sauce like the honey-mustard used in this recipe. For a fun twist, consider serving them as an appetizer at your next gathering or alongside a festive drink like Christmas Cheer(Wassail).
Storage & Reheating
Leftover skewers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they don't dry out.
