Orange-Mustard Glazed Chicken

Recipe Ingredients

3		Skinless boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 3/4" cubes
1/2 cup	118ml	Fresh orange juice
1		Shallot - finely chopped
2 tablespoons	30ml	Honey
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon	5ml	Low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons	10ml	Olive oil
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
		Finely-shredded zest of 1 orange

Recipe Instructions

In a nonreactive bowl, combine the chicken, orange juice, shallot, honey, mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but for no longer than 5 hours.

Preheat a broiler or a gas or electric grill.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the bowl, reserving the marinade. Thread an equal amount of chicken onto each of 6 skewers. Lay each filled skewer on a platter lined with paper towels and turn gently to remove excess marinade. Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until reduced by half and thickened to a glaze, about 5 minutes.

Place the skewers on a broiling pan or on a grill rack and broil or grill about 1 1/2 minutes on each of all 4 sides, for a total of 6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with no trace of pink remaining.

To serve, place the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with the glaze and sprinkle with the orange zest.
