Ingredients

CHICKEN SKEWER INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • Juice from half of a lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

VEGGIE SKEWER INGREDIENTS

  • red bell pepper, cut into bite sized pieces
  • onions, cut into bite sized pieces
  • cherry tomato
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • lemon juice from ½ of a lemon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F
  • Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces - about 1.5 inches.
  • In a bowl combine 1/4 cup dijon mustard with 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons mayo, lemon juice from half of a lemon, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add the chicken to the bowl and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • While the chicken marinates, prep the veggies. Cut veggies of choice (we used red bell pepper and yellow onion) into bite sized pieces. In a small bowl combine olive oil with the juice from half a lemon, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and brown sugar. Add in the veggies and toss to coat, then add the veggies to skewers.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and add the chicken pieces to metal skewers or wooden skewers.
  • Prepare a large baking sheet. Use a wire rack on top of it if you have one. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the chicken and vegetable skewers on the rack.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken and veggies are cooked. After about 15 minutes you can optionally broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes to get the beautiful color and a bit of char.Internal temp of chicken should be 165 F. Adjust baking time accordingly.
