Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger until smooth.
  2. Add 1 pound of cubed boneless, skinless chicken breast to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C), ensuring the grill grates are clean.

  6. Allow the kabobs to rest for 5 minutes before serving over rice or with a dipping sauce.
