Ingredients
1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Runny honey
1 Lemon, zest and juice
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and cut each one into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Season the honey-lemon mixture with a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper, then stir well.
Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating placement to ensure even cooking.
Brush the marinade generously over all sides of the chicken skewers.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the skewers on the hot surface.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes to ensure even browning and cooking. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part.
Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
