Ingredients

For the chicken skewers:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• Wooden or metal skewers

For the Bang Bang sauce:

• ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1½ tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 1 tsp sriracha (or to taste)
• 1 tsp honey (optional for sweetness)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Soak Skewers (If Using Wooden Ones)
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning.

3. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.

4. Assemble and Grill
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

5. Drizzle and Serve
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with the prepared Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.
