Instructions

Cube chicken and place in a large bowl
Prepare marinade by whisking honey, mustard, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme
Pour marinade over chicken; mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 1 hour)
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with pepper and onion pieces
Preheat grill to high heat (around 450°F/230°C)
Lightly oil grill grate to prevent sticking
Grill skewers for 6-8 minutes per side or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables show char marks
Brush with remaining marinade during last 2 minutes of cooking

Notes

For best results, soak bamboo skewers for 30 minutes before cooking
Marinating for 1 hour develops deeper flavor, but 30 minutes works in a pinch
Baste with reserved marinade during grilling for enhanced flavor
Serve with basmati rice or a mixed greens salad for a complete meal
Avoid using any raw chicken juice from marinade in final basting
