Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons apricot jam
  • ½ Tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes

Instructions

  • To make the marinade whisk together the apricot jam, orange and lemon extracts, red pepper flakes and salt. Whisk until combined (1 minute).
  • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir, coating all the chicken with the marinade. Let chicken marinate for 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
  • Warm your grill up to its highest setting, or light the charcoal and get the grill ready.
  • To assemble the skewers place the skewer through the middle of 6-8 cubes of chicken, making sure to tap any excess marinade off.
  • Place the chicken skewers on the grill and allow to cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Check for doneness, and then remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a plate. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If using wooden skewers make sure to soak them in water 10 minutes prior to use.
