Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes) or metal skewers

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

    Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, ensure they have soaked in water for about 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.

      Assemble the Skewers: Once the chicken is marinated, alternate threading the chicken cubes and peach wedges onto the skewers, starting and ending with chicken.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F to 450°F).

          Grill the Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and has nice grill marks.

            Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
