Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
2. Add chicken cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
5. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Notes
For extra flavor, add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skewers.
These skewers can also be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if grilling is not an option.
Adjust the level of spice by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.
