These honey mustard chicken skewers are smoky and tender, loaded with summer garden vegetables and served over jasmine rice.
Perfect weeknight dinner – one that everyone loves, craves and asks for!
Those are the best kind, you know?!
So, my honey mustard grilled chicken is one of our grilling staples. Holy cow, it is SO good. And so is my honey mustard chicken chopped salad, which is where I created my dressing. If you’re a honey mustard lover, the dressing is practically good enough to drink.
If you have a good set of grilling skewers, this recipe is so easy. The work lies in chopping and skewering the chicken and vegetables! That’s it.
I make my honey mustard vinaigrette.
Chop some chicken breasts and lots of vegetables. Skewer everything!
Brush them all over with the honey mustard dressing. Let them marinate for a few minutes. Maybe will you cook some rice.
Grill them! Brush them a few times while brushing.
I take them off the grill and serve them with jasmine rice because it’s our favorite. The whole family loves jasmine rice – the kids go crazy for it! I can’t believe how large the batch is that I make for dinner these days.
Skewers are just fun to eat. Especially for the kids! They actually get excited to eat vegetables.
This honey mustard mixture also works on sausage and pork tenderloin too. It’s a must make.
Love a satisfying and simple dinner!

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 2 bell peppers, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1 zucchini, cut into rounds
- 1 red onion, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup + 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- fresh chives, for topping
- jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into pieces.
- Make sure to chop the vegetables to be roughly the same size as the chicken pieces - in larger chunks. This helps the skewers stay uniform in size and helps everything cook in around the same amount of time.
- Whisk together the ⅓ cup dijon, ¼ cup honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Make 5 to 6 chicken skewers: skewer a few pieces of vegetables first, then a chunk of chicken, more vegetables, a piece of chicken and so on. I do about 4 to 5 pieces of chicken per skewer, but this is totally up to you! Do as many as you wish. Season them all over with salt and pepper.
- Once all the skewers are ready, place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle and brush most of the honey + dijon marinade mixture all over the skewers. Reserve the rest for after grilling. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to the highest setting. In a small bowl, I whisk together the other 2 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of dijon, for brushing the skewers while grilling. This is optional but very delicious!
- Place the skewers on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 5 minutes, then use grill tongs to gently turn them and grill for a few more minutes. Turn again once or twice more. I find these take about 10 to 12 minutes total - but make sure your chicken is at 165 degrees F when the internal temp is taken. A few minutes before they are finished, I brush them all over with the extra honey dijon.
- Remove the skewers from the grill. You can brush with the reserved honey dijon. Serve with the jasmine rice.
