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
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 cloves of garlic crushed
-
Cut the chicken into cubes and pop into a large glass dish with a lid
-
Whisk together the tamari, honey, water and crushed garlic until well incorporated
-
Pop about 3/4 of the mixture on top of the chicken. Stir to combine, put on the lid, and pop into the fridge to marinade for at least 3 hours (up to overnight). Set the extra marinade aside for later
-
Thread the chicken onto 4 large metal skewers and set on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
-
When you are ready turn the broiler to full heat (the grill for those not in the US). Brush the chicken with some of the leftover marinade and pop under the broiler for 4 minutes on one side, turn over, brush again and broil for 4 minutes on the other side
-
Serve up and enjoy

So excited that it’s getting to be grilling season so I can make awesome dishes like this!
This looks so simple, yet flavorful! I love the flavors you’ve chosen here. Tamari is a favorite of mine and it goes so well with honey. I’ll have to make these!
I love how these skewers are so simple, but look so mouthwatering! My favourite type of recipe 🙂 I’ll have to try these out for sure!
Thanks Elysia! I hope you love them
Looks delicious! And easy! I always buy tamari instead of soy sauce, so I have everything I need to make this! 🙂 Can’t wait to try it! Sharing on my Facebook page tomorrow and sending some other foodie love your way! Thanks for sharing it with us at #FoodieFriDIY! Hope to see you again tomorrow night!
Oh thanks Michelle 🙂 Thanks for having me over at #FoodieFriDIY

I’m loving it! A great weeknight “go to”! Thanks for sharing!!
very welcome Felesha 🙂
This recipe looks simply delicious!
Thanks Rachel – we love it 🙂
What an easy marinade! Love it!
4 ingredients — you are speaking my language. With the busy school year coming up I need as many quick and simple recipes as I can get my hands on. These look wonderful. And easy. Win!
Haha, I totally used to be about fancy, intricate meals….kids came along and now the less ingredients the better!
How delicious and easy… I have a jar of tamari sauce that needs to be used… Will try those for sure
Hope you enjoy Manal!!
Quick, easy and yummy – my kind of recipe! We’ll definitely be trying this soon! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy Michelle!
These chicken skewers look amazing! I’ve never tried to put honey on them before. I will definitely have to give it a try!
The honey makes them all sticky and delicious 🙂
I love all of your recipes! These look so good. I’ll have to try them soon. 🙂
Aww thanks Pam!
These look delicious! And what’s not to love about a recipe with 4 ingredients? Pinning this and I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks Kirsten! I hope you love them 🙂
Oh my! These look so good!
The simplicity of this dish makes it something I would actually try to accomplish haha! Sounds delicious!
Haha, they are definitely super simple 🙂
Looks delicious! And I love the fact that the ingredient let is so short. Something about eating off a stick is always appealing to the kids.
Oh I know, my little ones love eating from a stick!
Oh my goodness, these skewers look delicious! I love honey and garlic together; we just made some tacos with that combo and we LOOOOVED them!
Yum, I wouldn’t have thought of that flavour combo in tacos, but I can totally see it working!!
I love how easy these are! I’m adding them to my quick meal list for back to school.
Definitely a handy one to have for busy school nights!
The chicken looks delicious but as I am a veggie I would substitute it with quorn .
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 🙂
This look delish and made me very hungry. Not being the best cook, I think I can even make these with 4 ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I promise you can totally pull it off Tina 🙂
I LOVE how simple this recipe is! It really is the basic things that are often the best!
Yeah, I have definitely been taking it back to basics lately, and it has given me a whole new appreciation 🙂
Oh man, these look so delicious! My husband would love them!
These look perfect! And I love your skewers– so handy to reuse them!
