These grilled chicken skewers are easy and have the sweet flavor of orange marmalade marinade, smokiness of grilling. Then when you pair with the zestiness of the sesame dip and grilled vegetables you have created a divinely, scrumptious dinner.
Cut chicken breast lengthwise into 1-inch strips, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together lemon juice, chicken broth, lemon peel, and marmalade.
Pour marinade into a ziplock baggie and add chicken. Seal ziplock baggie and massage the marinade into the chicken for a minute. Refrigerate for 1-4 hours, turn the bag occasionally. Place the wooden skewers in water for about ½ hour.
Prepare dipping sauce – In a small bowl add honey, mustard, mayonnaise, and sesame seeds. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Drain the chicken and discard remaining marinade. Thread chickens strips on prepared wooden skewers.
Preheat grill and spray with a non-stick spray. Then place skewers on a grill. Cover, and grill on medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
Serve with prepared dipping sauce and enjoy!

These will definitely be tried this summer – maybe on the grill! They sound so yummy!
I use my grill year around! There are just somethings that you need to grill outside.
Hey Linda Jean! I love me a recipe blog and you’re already bringing out some I didn’t know. Bravo, girlfriend! Just one thought. You have such great colorful images in your steps and wondered what you thought about using the colored ones in your headings and Pinterest images? I am glad you show the steps because I am very visual. Can’t wait to see more!
Hi Sheila! Thanks for the compliment on the images! I want all the best to be inside the post and a teaser on the outside. Hope that makes sense. I am still trying to figure out my Pinterest branding though so thanks for the advice!
Ooooo, these sound so delicious! I love anything orange but unfortunately, I will have to find a keto version of the marmalade.Or just cheat a bit and enjoy! Thanks for sharing!
In reality, most of the flavor is absorbed in the meat during the marinading process and very little remains after cooking them. I think the little that remains is fine for a keto diet.
These look and sound so yummy!! I love quick and easy chicken recipes!
Thanks Lana! They are yummy!
