  • 2 lemons, sliced
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Fourth of July Honey Chicken Skewers with Grilled Corn Salad Directions

  1. Combine soy sauce, lemon slices, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 2/3 of finely chopped garlic in a bowl or resealable bag. Add chicken breasts. Let chicken marinate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Place twenty 8-inch wooden skewers in water to soak. Heat grill to medium-high.
  3. Combine the ketchup, honey, remaining garlic, and a second tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. Slice the chicken lengthwise into twenty ½-inch-thick strips. Thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  5. Lightly oil the grill. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, basting with the ketchup mixture during the last 2 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, grill the corn, turning occasionally, until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Cut the kernels off the cobs, place in a medium bowl, and toss with the butter, scallions, and ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve with the chicken.
