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
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the sizzling chicken skewers hot with the zesty dipping sauce on the side.
- Enjoy!
