Summer is here and these Grilled Chicken Skewers with Mustard Sauce are a fun, easy and delicious way to enjoy grilling,  just serve with a side of grilled veggies.

Food on a stick is just fun and dipping it a delicious sauce makes it even better. What I also love is when an entire meal can be prepared on the grill. Keeping the heat out of the kitchen.

The mustard sauce is also prepared on the grill. It is started by sautéing shallots and garlic in butter with fresh rosemary. The pan is deglazed with white wine and chicken stock is added, then simmered until reduced and thickened. The sauce gets can be blended to make it nice and smooth.

The chicken is marinated in the same ingredients as the sauce.  After marinating they are threaded onto metal skewers and grilled to perfection.
