    Grilled honey mustard chicken skewers laid out on a serving dish.

    These honey mustard chicken skewers are so easy to make and tasty too. They're grilled in just 25 minutes and are delicious served in wraps with a salad.

    Honey mustard chicken skewers are perfect for an indoor BBQ!

    Succulent pieces of tender grilled chicken marinated in a beautiful sweet and delicately spiced honey mustard sauce. What's not to like?

    Plus, this is a really simple meal to prepare.

    You marinate the chicken the night before (recommended, although you can marinate for less time) so you've got something really quick to grill for your dinner that night.

    Then just serve in wraps with a simple crispy iceberg lettuce salad with cucumber and tomatoes.

    Quick healthy meals that's what I'm all about and this honey mustard chicken skewers recipe is no exception.

    Now, this is how we usually do a Scottish BBQ. By grilling. Indoors. Because it frequently rains!

    How To Cook Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers

    You'll need 4 pre-soaked wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers) to ensure they don't burn whilst you're grilling them.

    First thread a piece of marinated chicken onto a skewer then a chunk of red pepper then a slice of onion and then a chunk of green pepper then another piece of chicken.

    Repeat this process 3 more times on the first skewer and then repeat this process on the other 3 skewers.

    Thread any remaining chicken or vegetables on at the end so none goes to waste

    Ensure that when you place your honey mustard chicken skewers on your grill pan you place a sheet of aluminium foil underneath.

    This helps to reflect the heat through and also means less mess at the end for when you're cleaning up in your grill pan!

    When placing your grill pan under the grill make sure you don't grill the chicken skewers too near the top of the grill.

    This avoids burning the chicken. Turn the chicken skewers regularly to ensure the chicken and vegetables are cooked through evenly.

    They just need to be grilled for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is browned a little.

    You want them that way and not burnt, just tender and juicy.

    Of course, to be sure that the chicken is cooked take a piece off and split it in half to check it isn't still pink inside.

    Now, if anyone manages to cook these chicken skewers on an outdoor BBQ, then please update in the comments below as to whether or not these honey mustard chicken skewers turn out as tasty as they do when grilled.

    I don't see why they shouldn't turn out just as tasty when BBQ'd, I just wouldn't want to say as I like to have everything tested and checked for you folks first!

    Or, who knows, maybe one day with luck I'll be updating this recipe to say we have also managed to cook these on the BBQ and they turned out just great!

    Equipment

    • Wooden skewers
    • Chopping board
    • Kitchen knives
    • Measuring jug
    • Measuring spoons
    • Pyrex mixing glass bowl

    Ingredients

    Honey Mustard Marinade:

    • 100 ml no fat yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoon runny honey
    • 2 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

    Chicken Skewers:

    • 2 chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
    • 1 red bell pepper cut into bite sized chunks
    • 1 green bell pepper cut into bite sized chunks
    • 1 onion peeled and cut into bite sized slices
    • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • If you’re using wooden skewers (4 are needed) soak them in warm water to prevent them from burning.
    • Place the honey mustard marinade ingredients into a jar and shake well.
    • Place the chicken into a bowl and spoon the marinade over the chicken and then massage into the chicken using your hands. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour (although overnight is better).
    • First thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer then a chunk of red pepper then a slice of onion and then a chunk of green pepper then another piece of chicken. Do this 3 more times in this skewer and then repeat this process on the other 3 skewers. Thread any remaining chicken or vegetables on at the end so none goes to waste.
    • Place a sheet of aluminium foil on a grill pan, then place the skewers on the rack and place the pan under a hot grill about ¾ of the way from the top.
    • Turn the skewers at least every 5 minutes whilst grilling to ensure each side gets the same amount of cooking. Grill for 20 - 25 minutes.
    • Before serving check the chicken is cooked by cutting a piece in half to ensure it’s no longer pink in the middle.

    Notes

    I like to serve my honey mustard chicken in wholemeal wraps with a crispy iceberg lettuce salad with cucumber and tomatoes.

      This makes me think of summer meals at our lake house! We used to have skewers all the time. And Alex and I used to do them on the grill at our old apartment! Need to do that again some time, thanks for the reminder!

      What a fun and creative way to enjoy grilled meals indoors! I've definitely had to dodge rain showers when cooking outdoors. And I've even been known to roll my grill over so it's right next to the door...you know, so I don't get wet when I flip the food over. Haha! But I'm totally on board with this indoor version. And that honey mustard flavor you've got going on sounds perfect...especially on chicken skewers! Sign me up for these...and I love serving them over a bed of lettuce, too. Safe travels, Neil, and I hope you enjoy the weekend ahead! 🙂

        Thanks David, it's about being realistic here in Scotland I think! 🙂

        We need to prepare for all eventualities so although it might not look like rain and I've planned for a BBQ, there always needs to be a contingency plan in case there is rain and these honey mustard chicken skewers are perfect so that situation!

      Who doesn't like skewers? Chicken ones are my favorite (well, I love salmon skewers as well) so I'm quite digging this recipe. I need to grab our grill ASAP. Wait...we don't have any grill. So we need to consider another option. Would you be able to ship me some of these chicken skewers please, Neil?:)

        Ha ha! Ben I actually googled "how long does it take a parcel to reach Canada from the U.K. and it looks like 5 - 6 days! Yeah, I know it wouldn't be possible as it's food in a parcel and hygiene and all that sort of stuff anyway. But then again, I'm not sure if I'd even have any left to send you for eating them all first. Sorry! 🙂

        Have a great weekend Ben, hope your weather is good! 😀
