🍽 Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup Lime juice
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 1 (16 oz) jar Sauerkraut

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's get that chicken prepped! Cut 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Remember, uniform sizes ensure even cooking. Don't cut yourself!
2. Next up, the marinade! In a big bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of lime juice (about 3-4 limes), 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of chili powder (adjust to your spice level!), 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. A little zest from those limes wouldn't hurt either!
3. Toss those chicken cubes into the marinade. Make sure every piece is coated well, then cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even better, up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it'll be. But don't overdo it!
4. While the chicken's marinating, let's tackle the sauerkraut. Drain a 16oz jar of sauerkraut really well. This helps prevent excess moisture on the grill and keeps the skewers from getting soggy. We want happy skewers, right?
5. Now, let's assemble the skewers! Thread the chicken cubes and sauerkraut chunks alternately onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Trust me on this one!
6. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once it's hot, place the skewers on the grill, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. This is important for even cooking and preventing steaming.
7. Grill the skewers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and slightly charred. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—it should reach 165°F (74°C).
8. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in extra tender and juicy chicken.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy these amazing skewers! They're perfect for a summer BBQ or a quick weeknight meal. I love them with a simple side of rice or a fresh salad. Mmm...

📝 Notes

• Always ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• Adjust chili powder to your preferred spice level.
• Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions.
• If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
