Ingredients
Orange juice
3 (freshly squeezed)
Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (none)
Honey
1 tablespoon (none)
Garlic cloves
2 (finely chopped)
Fresh ginger
1 tablespoon (finely chopped, peeled)
Boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 (cut into 1 inch cubes)
Fresh rosemary sprigs
6 (trimmed to 10-12 inches with half leaves removed)
Instructions
1
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure a nice sear on the chicken.
2
In a small saucepan, pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reduces and thickens to a consistency similar to a very thin syrup.
3
Once thickened, add the Dijon mustard, honey, finely chopped garlic, and ginger to the saucepan, mixing well. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring, until the flavors combine beautifully.
4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly, allowing the flavors to meld together. Reserve it for drizzling later.
5
Take the chicken breasts and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Divide the chicken evenly amongst the rosemary sprigs, skewering the chicken throughout, leaving the stem ends for easy handling.
6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, and place the rosemary skewers on the grill. Cook the chicken for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
7
Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle with the reserved orange glaze for a beautiful presentation and serve immediately.
