These grilled honey mustard chicken skewers with veggies are quick, fresh, and perfect for easy, crowd-pleasing dinners. The sweet tangy glaze pairs beautifully with smoky grilled chicken and crisp-tender vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 small red onion, quartered
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes or mushrooms
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before use)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stir to coat evenly, cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Chop the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini into similar-sized chunks while the chicken marinates.
  4. Thread chicken pieces and veggies alternately onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces for heat circulation.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3-4 minutes. Brush extra honey mustard glaze over skewers during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and veggies are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Turn skewers frequently to avoid burning the glaze or veggies. Rest skewers for 5 minutes after grilling to keep chicken juicy. For a dairy-free glaze, skip any butter finishes and use olive oil. Adjust veggies seasonally and cut all pieces to similar sizes for even cooking.
