Hot Honey Feta Chicken Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil separated
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 green bell peppers chopped into 2-inch chunks
- 1/2 white onion sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 4 large metal skewers
- 1/4 cup honey plus extra for drizzling if desired
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese or adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the garlic mixture and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the green bell peppers and onions with the remaining olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes, green peppers, and onions onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
- Baste with Hot Honey: During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken and veggies with hot honey. Allow the skewers to become lightly charred.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill. Drizzle with extra hot honey and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!
