Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken in the Mustard Dill Sauce overnight instead of just 8 hours. You can substitute skinless thighs for breasts if preferred, and feel free to add other spices such as garlic powder or paprika. If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be used but reduce the amount to a teaspoon.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these skewers with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad for a refreshing meal. They pair beautifully with Cream Of Broccoli Soup for a comforting touch. Additionally, consider serving with crusty bread or pita to soak up any leftover sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the chicken rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for the Mustard Dill Sauce?
If you don't have Mustard Dill Sauce, you can make a quick alternative by mixing equal parts Dijon mustard and honey with some chopped fresh dill. This will provide a similar tangy and sweet flavor profile that complements the chicken well.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, cut into a piece to check that the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
