Course Mains
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup of your favorite beer
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • kosher salt
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks
Corn and Feta Salsa
  • 1-2 jalapenos
  • 2 cups grilled or steamed corn
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • whipped or mashed avocado, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, combine the beer, ketchup, honey, dijon, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium- high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, until thickened.
  • Combine the chicken and about 1/2 cup BBQ sauce in a bowl, tossing to coat.
  • Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Take skewers and thread the chicken pieces on. Grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, turning them occasionally throughout cooking, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Alternately, you can roast the chicken at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
  • At the same time, grill the jalapeño until lightly charred, then give it a rough chop and toss with the corn, cilantro, basil, chives, lime juice, lemon juice, and vinegar. Season with salt then toss with the feta.
  • Serve the chicken with the salsa, whipped avocado, and fresh herbs all on the side.
