If you’re looking for a simple, weeknight, gluten free recipe; these Honey Lime Chicken Skewers are it.
We love grilling season here in New Jersey. But due to the cold temperatures, reality is that we usually can only grill outdoors 6-7 months during the year.
Recipes like this one are perfect for those busy nights because you can marinate them all day long; then they only take less than 10 minutes to cook.
Some of our favorite side dishes include Honey Lime Carrots, Twice Baked Lime Sweet Potatoes, Chili Lime Sautéed Zucchini or Greek Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Equipment
- wooden or metal skewers
- grill or indoor grill pan
Ingredients Needed
- chicken tenderloins
- honey
- limes
I like to use the tenderloins for this recipe because they’re pre-portioned; usually 2-ounces per piece and they’re easy to thread onto a skewer.
How do you make Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Skewers?
Combine the honey and fresh lime juice together in a resealable bag or bowl; then add the chicken. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
I prefer marinating the chicken overnight to really infuse the honey and lime flavors!
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and add each tenderloin to a skewer. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in hot water for at least 10 minutes before threading the chicken so that they don’t burn when grilled.
When ready, heat the grill and cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they’re cooked through and juices run clear.
These Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Skewers are so flavorful and easy to make. You can also serve them as an appetizer and they’re definitely kid friendly. ~ Enjoy!
