Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons chili garlic paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
lime wedges for serving

Yogurt sauce:
1 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 tablespoon honey
1 lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Add the chicken pieces to a baking dish or large resealable plastic bag. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, garlic paste, salt and pepper until combined. Pour it over the chicken and mix until all of the chicken is covered. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 2 hours or even overnight.

Soak a few bamboo skewers in water. Skewer 4 to 5 chicken pieces on each skewer. Heat a large skillet (or your grill!) over medium-high heat and add the olive oil (not if using the grill). Add the chicken skewers and cook on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through. Serve immediately with the yogurt sauce and extra lime wedges.

Yogurt sauce: Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until creamy and combined.

Enjoy!
