Instructions

Slice the chicken into very thin strips using a sharp knife. Thread the chicken onto wooden skewers in an accordion style.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chili powder, chopped garlic, and optional salt. Generously coat the skewered chicken with the marinade.
For grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with sauce.
For baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 16-18 minutes until fully cooked.
