Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

2 fresh jalapenos, sliced into rings (seeds removed for less heat)

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

      Assemble the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken, peach wedges, jalapeno rings, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients for an appealing look.

        Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The peaches should caramelize slightly, adding to the flavor.

          Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

              - Presentation Tips: Serve the skewers on a large platter, drizzling any remaining marinade over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color!
