Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 cups room temperature water
1/3 cup + 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®, (divided)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
3 tablespoons honey
1 lime, (juiced and zested)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons corn starch (or arrowroot powder)
1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add water, 1/3 cup Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®, and sugar. Mix together with a spoon until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Add the chicken breasts to the salt water solution, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the water, pat dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • Toss chicken with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt®.
  • Thread the seasoned chicken onto 8 12-inch metal skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Heat grill to high heat, about 400°F. Place kabobs on grill, cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning the kabobs 2 to 3 times until chicken fully cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.
  • Remove from grill and generously brush them with the honey lime sauce.
  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the honey lime sauce and whisk together until the corn starch has completely dissolved and the sauce has thickened.

Learn how to make the juiciest grilled chicken kabobs with this classic recipe. See notes above for different seasoning options too.

Provided by Ali

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness and brined in saltwater (*see easy instructions below)
1 Tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I prefer smoked paprika)
optional: fresh lemon wedges

Steps:

  • To brine the chicken breasts, fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the whole chicken breasts and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes. Or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse them with cold water, then pat them dry with some paper towels. (If the chicken breasts you purchased have already been pre-brined in a sodium solution, skip this brining step completely.)
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl and drizzle evenly with the olive oil. Toss to combine.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until combined. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken. Then toss for 1 minute, or until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning. Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
  • Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
  • Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, drizzled with freshly-squeezed lemon juice if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
