Four Ingredient Chicken Skewers are going to change your life. I have long been a fan of honey, soy and garlic chicken, and have made a number of variations over the years. This one though, this one is PERFECT. Even though it is probably the easiest one I have come up with.

After the great response I had from my Chicken and Zucchini Skewers with Salsa Verde I thought it only right to come up with another chicken skewer recipe, more suitable for a weeknight meal. With only 4 ingredients and one dish – this one couldn’t be easier!

You can pop the chicken in the marinade in the morning, and then all you have to do is chuck it under the broiler at dinnertime. Or, if you are feeling brave, you could always fire up the grill and get them nice and charred on there. At 108 degrees today, there’s no way I am heading outside to cook, so let me know how it goes if you try grilling 🙂

I have served it up with some Summer Stone Fruit Spinach and Strawberry Salad and 40 Minute Honey Wheat Dinner Rolls for lunch, and some simple sesame egg noodles for dinner, and they were delicious both ways!  I hope you love these easy Chicken Skewers!

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup tamari reduced sodium soy sauce

    The chicken looks delicious but as I am a veggie I would substitute it with quorn .

      August 9, 2015 at 2:26 am

      I have tried it with extra firm tofu as well, and it worked really well! I remember eating quorn when I loved in the UK (used to be veggie as well), but I haven’t heard of it in years 🙂
