Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for stronger flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers on the preheated grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
