Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the marinade
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (ensure it's halal-certified)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the skewers
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if using wooden skewers) Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken cubes in a resealable bag or bowl, pour the marinade over the chicken, and seal or cover. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) for maximum flavor.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
Cooking
  1. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  3. Once fully cooked, remove the skewers from the grill, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or on a skillet for quick warming.
