Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
Marinade
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- Skewers
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat to ensure it is ready for cooking your skewers evenly.
- Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Thread Chicken on Skewers: Carefully thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each cube for even cooking.
- Grill Chicken: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has nice grill marks.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. You can drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce if desired for added flavor.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers and onions to the skewers for added color and nutrition.
- If you don’t have a grill, these skewers can also be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or broiled in the oven.
