Honey Chicken Skewers With Grilled-Corn Salad

Honey Chicken Skewers With Grilled-Corn Salad

Makes 4 servings

Hands-on Time: 10m, Total Time: 30m

This recipe is: Kid Friendly, Quick & Easy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • canola oil, for the grill
  • 6 ears corn, shucked
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 scallions, sliced

Directions

1. Place twenty 8-inch wooden skewers in water to soak. Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, honey, and Worcestershire sauce; set aside.

2. Slice the chicken lengthwise into twenty 1/2-inch-thick strips. Thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

3. Lightly oil the grill. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, basting with the ketchup mixture during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

4. Meanwhile, grill the corn, turning occasionally, until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut the kernels off the cobs, place in a medium bowl, and toss with the butter, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve with the chicken.

Tip: Use a paring knife to cut fruits and vegetables.
