Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken breast, cubed
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Place the cubed chicken breast in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill, allow them to rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot. Enjoy with rice, salad, or flatbread!
