Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
