Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
