Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken breast
½ cup honey
4 tbsp oil
1 lime, zested
2 limes, juiced
2 tbsp PSC Cilantro Leaves
1 tsp PSC Garlic Powder
½ tsp PSC Ginger Ground
pinch of salt
fresh cilantro leaves, chopped for garnish
lime wedges
Steps:
- Dry chicken breasts with a paper towel, Slice into 1-inch pieces. (Tip: to ensure the skewers cook evenly, it is important to cut the pieces of chicken to roughly similar sizes).
- Place chicken pieces into bowl or sealable, zip-lock food bag.
- Prepare marinade: In a small bowl, mix together honey, oil, lime zest, lime juice, PSC Cilantro Leaves, PSC Garlic Powder, PSC Ginger Ground, and salt.
- Pour marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (max 24 hours).
- While chicken is marinating, place wooden skewers into water to soak – this will stop them from burning during cooking (or use metal skewers).
- After 1 hour, remove chicken from fridge and remove skewers from water.
- Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and place them on a tray for cooking.
- Heat grill then place skewers on grill. Cook skewers for about 4 minutes on each side until slightly charred and cooked all the way through.
- Top with the remaining fresh cilantro and lime wedges, and serve.
