Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 large chicken breast
- 3–4 links sausage
Seasoning and Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Finishing Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 4–6 skewers
Instructions
- Whisk 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning until your glaze has balanced flavor.
- Slice 2 large chicken breasts into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks. Cut 3-4 sausage links into 1-inch rounds.
- Thread chicken and sausage pieces onto 4-6 skewers, alternating between proteins. Space chunks evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Generously brush assembled skewers with prepared honey mustard mixture, ensuring complete coverage of meat pieces.
- Heat grill to 400°F. Place skewers on grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning. Brush additional glaze during cooking.
- Check chicken internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove skewers from grill and allow 3-4 minutes resting time before serving hot.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prevents burning and keeps them from catching fire on the grill.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular sausages for gluten-free alternatives and check mustard ingredients carefully.
- Create deeper flavor by marinating chicken chunks in half the glaze for 30 minutes before threading onto skewers.
- Test chicken doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperature without overcooking and drying out the meat.
