Instructions
 

  • Mix the lemon juice, lime juice, soy sauce, honey and thyme in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken.
    2 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 pounds chicken breast
  • If you want to make the Brussels sprouts, reserve a little of the marinade in a separate bowl before you add the chicken and toss the Brussels sprouts in the marinade with a little oil before grilling them.
    12 oz bag of fresh Brussels sprouts
  • Add the chicken and toss so everything gets coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if not longer or overnight.
  • Thirty minutes before cooking, bring the chicken out of the refrigerator and let the chicken sit out at room temperature.
  • Skewer each tenderloin upwards on the sticks. If you were smart, you'd soak the sticks in water for about 30 minutes as well. I forgot to do this and some of my sticks became casualties of the grill.
  • I put the Brussels sprouts that were tossed in the marinade in a vegetable tray on a preheated grill over low heat for 20 minutes before adding the chicken.
  • To cook the chicken, make sure the grill is nice and hot. Then rub oil on or spray the grates. Place the chicken on in batches and cook for about 4 minutes a side over medium-low flame.
  • The chicken will be firm to the touch when done. Cut one in half and make sure you see no more pink but try not to overcook them.
  • Remove them from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Along with the chicken and Brussels sprouts I served some leftover grilled cauliflower from the night before.
