Balsamic Vinegar & Honey Chicken Skewers
Intro: Balsamic Vinegar & Honey Chicken Skewers
The balsamic vinegar & honey added a nice light touch of flavor to
the chicken, and the quinoa & strawberry, goat cheese and nut salad were both a perfect compliment.

serves 4
STEP 1: Chicken Marinade
Ingredients:
2.5 good sized boneless & skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons honey

STEP 2: Cook the Chicken!
The day of.
1) Soak 3-4 wooden skewers in a shallow dish filled with water while getting the grill, quinoa and salad ready.
2) Right before the grill is ready, thread the chicken pieces onto the water-soaked wooden skewers.
