Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gather 3-5 wooden skewers and place in a shallow plate with water for 30 minutes.
  2. Trim the chicken breasts of any extra fat. Cut into 1 inch chunks and set aside.
  3. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon rosemary plus a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the chunks of chicken breast and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to high. Thread the chunks of chicken onto the wooden skewers.
  5. Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, basting the chicken with the remaining honey. Continue turning until chicken is cooked though, about 10 minutes or until chicken is opaque.
  6. Let sit for 2-3 minutes and serve. Drizzle with more honey and fresh rosemary if you'd like.
