Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 units wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until all pieces are well coated.
Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing the meat evenly among them.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has char marks.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
