“This honey soy chicken skewer recipe is quick, delicious and not to mention easy to make! Its great paired with a side salad and some rice or in a healthy wrap. If you don’t want to skewer the meat, grilled on its own with the marinade is just as good!” — Leah Itsines.

1 tbsp sesame seeds
10 bamboo skewers, soaked in water
