1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes Lean protein that absorbs flavors beautifully.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Adds richness and helps keep the chicken moist.
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce Adds savory depth and umami flavor.
1/4 cup honey Contributes natural sweetness and caramelizes on the chicken.
3 cloves minced garlic Infuses the marinade with aromatic flavor.
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger Adds a warm, zesty note to the marinade.
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Adds a touch of heat to the dish.

1/4 cup chopped green onions Adds a fresh, crisp contrast to the savory chicken.

Wooden or metal skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling.

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until fully combined.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on one side until charred, then flip and grill for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
