Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith are great choices), cored and diced into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh rosemary or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Skewers (either wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Create the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed and smooth.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.

      Preheat the Grill or Oven: Prepare your cooking method— preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If opting for an oven, set the broiler to high.

        Assemble the Skewers: Take the marinated chicken and apple cubes and thread them onto the skewers. Alternate between the chicken and apple pieces, leaving small gaps to allow for even cooking and proper heat circulation.

          Grilling Instructions: Once the grill is hot, place the skewers directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers every few minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and has developed beautiful grill marks.

            Oven Broiling Instructions: If using the broiler, arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight caramelization on the outside.

              Serving: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme for a fragrant touch. Serve warm alongside a vibrant salad or your favorite grains for a delightful meal.
