Ingredients

32 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey raw preferred
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 garlic clove very finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

Slice chicken into very thin strips with a very sharp knife. Thread accordion-style onto wooden skewers.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chilipowder, chopped garlic, and optional salt. Spoon sauce over skewers.
Add skewers to a hot grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked, basting with sauce and turning every 2-3 minutes to evenly cook the entire skewer of chicken.
Alternately, the skewers can be baked in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes, or until fully cooked.
