Chipotle Honey Chicken Skewers

  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

This clean-eating recipe offers sweet, tangy, and deliciously smoky flavors in a low-calorie, high-protein skewer!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey (raw preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 garlic clove (very finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into very thin strips with a very sharp knife. Thread accordion-style onto wooden skewers.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chili powder, chopped garlic, and optional salt. Spoon sauce over skewers.
  3. Add skewers to a hot grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked, basting with sauce and turning every 2-3 minutes to evenly cook the entire skewer of chicken.
  4. Alternatively, the skewers can be baked in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until fully cooked.
