Ingredients
Chicken:
1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Wood skewers (optional, soak if grilling)
Honey Chipotle Mix:
1½ tbsp honey
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
1 clove garlic, grated
2 tbsp taco seasoning (Siete brand recommended)
1 orange, zest (1–2 tsp) and juice (1 tbsp)
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, chipotle, garlic, taco seasoning, orange zest and juice, salt, and oil.
Add chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Marinate for 15–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Thread chicken pieces onto skewers.
Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and charred at the edges.
Serve hot, with a squeeze of fresh orange if desired.
