Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Serve immediately with a yogurt dip or your favorite side dishes.
