Instructions: 

  • Pre-heat a grill on high
  • Toss the diced chicken with 2 T olive oil, lemon zest, ½ tsp salt, and pepper
  • Toss the sliced summer squash with 1 T olive oil and ½ tsp salt
  • Build your skewers by alternating the strawberries, chicken, and squash so that each skewer has the same amount of all
  • Grill the skewers both sides of the skewers for 4 minutes each then close the lid and let the grill finish cooking the chicken.  Remove skewers when chicken is cooked throughout (approx 4 more minutes) **if your grill is hotter/colder, adjust the times so that the chicken isn’t undercooked or burnt
  • While the skewers are resting, mix together the honey and balsamic vinegar.  Drizzle the mixture over top of the skewers and enjoy!
