Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, finely chopped fresh parsley, minced fresh rosemary, minced fresh thyme, minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well blended.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled herb-marinated meat skewers hot, and enjoy your Whole30 meal.
