These Honey-Lime Chicken Skewers are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of honey, lime juice, garlic, and a touch of spices, giving it a juicy and flavorful taste that’s perfect for grilling. Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner, hosting a BBQ, or just looking for a quick weeknight meal, these skewers are always a hit. They’re easy to make, packed with flavor, and pair beautifully with a side of rice or fresh veggies.

Customizable for Your Taste

If you want to add a bit more heat, feel free to throw in some chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the marinade. For a different twist, you can also swap the lime juice for lemon juice or add a pinch of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. The options are endless, and I love how easy it is to make this recipe your own!

What You Need to Make Honey-Lime Chicken Skewers:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions to Make Honey-Lime Chicken Skewers:

In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve the Honey-Lime Chicken Skewers with a squeeze of fresh lime, and enjoy!
