Ingredients
  

1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced chipotle peppers, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Add Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

      Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, ensure they are soaked in water to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

            Serve: Once done, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
