Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
While the skewers are soaking, prepare the marinade. Zest and juice the lemon into a mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the lemon juice and zest. Mix well to combine.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly across the skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete low carb meal.
