It’s time. It’s time to put the slow-cooker in the basement and scrub up the grill. It’s time to break out the tongs and sing M-A-R-I-N-A-D-E in falsetto. People, it’s officially summer. People, it’s time to grill.
I should preface this post with the fact that: The grill is never a one man show.
There’s a lot more than you think that goes into a great grilled meal. There’s the grill > That’s key.
The griller > He’s the secret ingredient. And to any ingredient > there’s always a secret.
And the inspiration for my Balsamic and Honey Chicken Skewers recipe > it was delivered to my door.
Hatchery is ย like a personal shopper for your taste buds.
They’re purveyors of goodness. They seek out farmers and local artisans. They share ingredients and products each and every month, with a tasting box sent to your doorstep each and every month.
Each box of goodies comes in a sturdy, recyclable box with the products inside carefully wrapped in recyclable paper for shipping. I love the attention to detail in their branding, down to even the newsprint washi style tape with their name imprinted upon it.
I was contacted by Hatchery to ask if I’d share the deets on their monthly flavor boxes with you. I wasn’t familiar with them before they contacted me, but once I ย got a look at their bright red boxed packaging with stellar typography and design (my type geek innards of longing strikes again) plus the list of carefully curated artisanal products they represent from across the U.S., I knew this was a company I wanted to tell others about.
So, what it boils down to is samples of tastes, from savory to sweet, delivered to your door when you subscribe. Then, when you discover the products you love from your smartly designed Hatchery box, you can buy the full size versions directly from their website. Again, delivered straight to your door.
This month’s tasting box included seasoning salts, Arrabbitata gravy, a super tangy mustard, organic blueberry fruit spread and maple flakes. Maple flakes? Can’t wait to try that one.
One of the smart ways they pimp their samples is to include a Tasting Guide, where they deliver intel about the boxed samples, the artisans who created them plus unique recipe ideas using the products included. Yep, all in a really great designed package. I’m such a sucker for packaging.
This month’s Hatchery box included one of my favorite specialty brands, O Olive Oil. This sample was for their Fig Balsamic Vinegar. It’s balsamic with a big dose of figs, my favorite Meyer lemons, blood orange and Tahitian lime. Yep, it’s goooood.
And that’s when my mind started spinning.
With chicken ideas. With balsamic. With the grill. Done and done.
Welcome summer. Nice to see you again.
Balsamic and Honey Chicken Skewers
PrintIngredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 2 breasts
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons honey divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced, plus more for garnish
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Gather 3-5 wooden skewers and place in a shallow plate with water for 30 minutes.
- Trim the chicken breasts of any extra fat. Cut into 1 inch chunks and set aside.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon rosemary plus a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the chunks of chicken breast and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high. Thread the chunks of chicken onto the wooden skewers.
- Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, basting the chicken with the remaining honey. Continue turning until chicken is cooked though, about 10 minutes or until chicken is opaque.
- Let sit for 2-3 minutes and serve. Drizzle with more honey and fresh rosemary if you'd like.

Oh this marinade looks so good! I grill all year round, so I can definitely see myself making this really soon

Will marinating the chicken longer do anything to the texture? Just wondering if I could throw these in the marinade before work to have ready for dinner. ;) Thanks!
You could totally marinade it for the day. Have fun cooking Kristin.

Oooo I love balsamic and can really bring out the flavour of meat. These chicken skewers look incredible, Ill have to give them a ago :)
Heather Stevenson
WOW! Delicious! I made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit. My son loved it and asked me to put it on the roster. I made it with chicken and also made some salmon skewers with the same sauce. The salmon was excellent too! While everything was cooking on top of foil sprayed with oven spray, I brushed the skewers with some sauce that was carmelizing on the foil.
Hi Heather, great idea of using it with the salmon. I’ll have to try that myself sometime.

Hi! Can I make these skewers in the oven? I saw this recipe under heading…100 Recipes for Passover and our barbecue is not kosher for Passover.
Thanks

Made these last night and loved LOVEDโฅ them! Such a quick and easy marinade with ingredients I always have around my kitchen. The honey lets the chicken caramelize a bit on the grill which deepens the flavor. Definitely make some extra so you have leftovers to put in your salad the next day!

how to lower blood pressure
The high blood pressure is a problem that should not
be ignored as if it is ignored then it can even cause heart
attack, stroke, damage on the brain and sometimes kidney may also fail
in some cases. Being a passive smoker or inhaling smoke can also cause the same kind
of health problem. The immune system is thrown off balance and runners are much more likely to suffer from upper respiratory infections.

The pictures and ingredients look and sound great, but the instructions are very confusing. #1, preheat the grill to high, then marinade the chicken for 1-2 hours? And then (#4), preheat the grill to med-high, followed by #5 to reduce the heat to med-high. I think there are some major typos here…
Thanks for alerting me! I’ve made some adjustments and fixed her up. I hope it’s more clear now.

I’m actually eating and typing at the same time because I had to tell you how delicious they are! I had all of the ingredients on hand and we will definitely be making these again. Thank you for sharing!

I love this idea! I tend to buy all sorts of random ingredients but then not really know how to use them or bring them together into a dish so including a tasting guide sounds brilliant.
