- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp freshly crushed black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes (you can use chicken thighs as well)

- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 orange or red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 mins) or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: in a large bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, and freshly crushed black pepper. Reserve ¼ of the marinade.
- Add the veggies and chicken cubes to the bowl, toss well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the outside grill or griddle if you are using one, by heating it on high heat, and make the skewers by alternating veggies and chicken cubes. For example: chicken, red onion, bell pepper, chicken, zucchini, red onion, chicken red onion, bell pepper and so on..
- Once the grill is hot, cook the chicken skewers for 3 minutes on each of the 4 sides until the chicken is fully cooked, basting them with the reserved marinade
Notes
- Make sure the honey is fully dissolved before placing the chicken and veggies in the bowl.
- The grill should be very hot before placing the skewers on it.
- Don’t forget to baste the skewers while cooking them.
