Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored and cut into 1-inch chunks

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 to 10 skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the marinade. Use a spatula or your hands to ensure the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor infusion.

      Assemble the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Take the prepared skewers and thread the chicken and apple chunks alternately onto each skewer—starting and ending with chicken for an appealing presentation.

        Grill the Skewers: Carefully place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be thoroughly cooked, with visible grill marks and its internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). The apples should soften and develop a subtle caramelization.

          Serve: Once grilled, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with any leftover marinade for added flavor, or alongside a fresh salad for a delightful crunch.
