Ingredients
  

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

2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, for garnish

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, stirring to coat all pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

      Preheat the Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat . If using an oven, preheat the broiler.

        Assemble the Skewers: Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken and apple cubes onto the skewers, alternating between the two. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

          Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the assembled skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

            Cook the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C) and the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.

              Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill/oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for a burst of freshness. Serve warm with any remaining honey mustard sauce if desired for dipping.
