Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Thread the 1-inch chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking, and arrange the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), honey, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic until combined.
  • Pour the marinade evenly over the skewered chicken, turning the skewers to coat all sides.
  • Bake the skewers in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and serve the skewers hot.
