Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers

The recipe originated from one of Nordstroms cookbooks: Easy Enertainment. The chicken is sweet, moist and delicious! I like to reserve some of the marinade (1/4 cup) to drizzle over the skewers hot off the grill. Easily doubled and or reheated with success.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder ( I like Roasted Granulated Garlic from Savory Spices)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:
In medium bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, pepper and garlic.
Whisk to combine. Measure out 1/4 cup of the mixture, cover and refrigerate until needed.

Place the chicken pieces in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag. Pour the remaining honey-mustard mixture over them, coating well. Squeeze all the air out of the bag and seal it.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

Soak 6-8 skewers for a couple of hours. Drain.

Remove the chicken from the marinade.
At this point I bake the chicken on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in a 350-degree oven just to firm up the chicken pieces (about 12 minutes). In the mean time preheat your grill on medium to mediium high; brushing the grates with oil.

Remove the chicken from the oven. thread through skewers and finish them on the grill; turning once. Grill about 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the skewers on a platter and drizzle the reserved honey-mustard mixture over the top or serve as a dipping sauce.

Yum!
