The Olive Bin

Easy Balsamic Chicken Skewers

In small bowl, combine 1/2 C balsamic vinegar and 2 T honey; set aside. In medium bowl, whisk together remaining balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Add chicken cubes to bowl of marinade, or place marinade and chicken cubes together in a large Ziploc bag; toss until chicken is evenly coated. Seal/cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, up to 8 hours (we recommend 1 hour minimum). NOTE:If you are using wooden skewers, set them to soak in a pan of water for at least 10 minutes so they do not burn. When ready to cook chicken, heat a grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease grill with cooking spray. Remove chicken pieces from marinade, and thread chicken onto skewers. Season skewers generously with salt and pepper. Cook on grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning skewers once, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove chicken skewers from grill and place on a serving plate. Meanwhile, pour small bowl of balsamic-honey combination into small saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 12 minutes, or until mixture is reduced by half and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and brush the balsamic reduction onto skewers until they are all evenly coated. Serve immediately.
