Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • For the dipping sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  7. While the skewers are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  9. Serve the sizzling chicken skewers hot with the zesty dipping sauce on the side.
  10. Enjoy!
