Busy days call for simple yet amazingly delicious recipes. Whenever possibly during the warmer months, we’re usually cooking on the grill. For this recipe, I took one of my most popular recipes on the blog, Honey Garlic Chicken and used it as the inspiration for these Honey Garlic Grilled Chicken Kabobs.

This easy honey garlic chicken breast recipe uses practically the same ingredients, the same diced chicken but this time it’s grilled to perfection.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU GRILL CHICKEN KABOBS FOR? 

It should take you about 8-10 minutes or so to cook these honey garlic chicken kabobs. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.  

Be sure to flip them a few times to make sure all sides are cooked.

DO I HAVE TO COOK THEM ON THE HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN KABOBS ON THE GRILL.’

If you prefer to cook them in the oven, that will work fine too. You’ll want to cook them for 12-15 minutes in a 450 degree oven and until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

DO I HAVE TO USE DICED CHICKEN BREAST?

No, not at all.  I think this honey garlic chicken kabob marinade would be delicious over grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken breast and more.

I used the diced chicken breast for this recipe because it cooks quick and I had to take the dogs to an appointment and wanted to eat before we went. 

Make sure you’re following the blog for updates because I’ll definitely be making honey garlic grilled chicken wings and a honey garlic grilled chicken breast recipe in the coming weeks for you guys.
