The chicken is the star of this dish. I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They cook evenly and stay juicy. The marinade brings all the magic. I mix honey and Dijon mustard for sweetness and tang. Adding soy sauce adds depth. Olive oil keeps everything moist. For spice, I toss in garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Salt and pepper finish the blend. This marinade is quick to make but packs a punch. Don’t forget the veggies! Red and yellow bell peppers add color and crunch. I also use red onion for a bit of zing.

In a large bowl, whisk together: - 1/4 cup honey - 1/4 cup Dijon mustard - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste Mix these until they blend into a smooth marinade.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper flavor, you can let it sit for up to 2 hours. Now, it’s time to grill! Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. This step keeps them from burning. Once your chicken has marinated, thread it onto the skewers. Alternate with pieces of: - 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces - 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges This not only adds flavor but also makes the skewers look nice.

After grilling, let the skewers rest for a few minutes. This helps keep them juicy before serving. For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions. To make the best honey mustard chicken skewers, marinate longer. I suggest letting the chicken sit in the marinade for at least two hours. This extra time helps the flavors seep in. You can even marinate overnight if you like. The chicken will absorb all that tasty honey mustard goodness, making each bite amazing. Grilling needs some care. First, don’t overcrowd the grill. Leave space between skewers for heat to flow. This way, the chicken cooks evenly. Turn the skewers every few minutes for nice grill marks. Keep an eye on the chicken, making sure it reaches 165°F (75°C). This ensures juicy, safe-to-eat skewers. Make your skewers look great on the table. Serve them on a wooden board.

It soaks up the honey mustard flavor well. You can also try different veggies. Zucchini and mushrooms work great on the grill. They add more taste and color to your skewers. Switching up your mustard can change the flavor. Whole grain mustard adds a crunchy texture. Spicy mustard gives a nice kick to your dish. Feel free to mix and match sauces for a new taste. You might find a new favorite! Using fresh, seasonal veggies makes your skewers pop. Bell peppers shine in summer while root vegetables are great in fall. Search for local produce to keep flavors bright and fresh. This choice not only tastes good but also supports local farms. Store leftover skewers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This keeps them fresh and tasty for your next meal. Make sure the container seals well to avoid air getting in. Freezing the uncooked marinated chicken skewers can last for up to 2 months. This is perfect for meal prep. Just remember to thaw them in the fridge before grilling. This helps the chicken cook evenly and get that nice char. Reheat skewers in the oven at low heat or in the microwave until warm. If using the oven, place them on a baking sheet. This method helps retain their juiciness. In the microwave, cover them with a damp paper towel to keep moisture in. Enjoy the flavors again without losing quality! For the full recipe, check the earlier section.

Grilled veggies offer more flavor and color, making your meal stand out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This is the safest way to check for doneness.

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth to create the marinade.

    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for richer flavor.

      Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

        Once marinated, thread the chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. This not only adds flavor but also makes the skewers visually appealing.

          Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C) and has nice grill marks.

            Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
