Ingredients:
For the Chicken Skewers:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Cilantro Lime Dip:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped jalapeños, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cilantro lime dip. In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve the spicy honey jalapeño chicken skewers hot with the cilantro lime dip on the side. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors!
