Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 zucchini
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, whisk 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp chili flakes until combined. Add chicken cubes, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: Thread chicken and vegetables (1 red bell pepper sliced into 1-inch pieces, 1 zucchini sliced into 1-inch rounds, 1/2 red onion cut into wedges) onto skewers, alternating ingredients for color contrast.
3. Step 3: Grill skewers over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and vegetables are tender with light char marks — baste occasionally with remaining marinade.
