👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Skewers:
   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

3. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole-grain mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Skewers:

   • Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if using. Leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.

5. Grill the Skewers:

   • Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

   • Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).

6. Glaze and Finish:

   • In the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush chicken with the honey-mustard glaze.

   • Remove from grill and brush with an additional light coating before serving.
