Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 8 Skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 4
To prepare the green sauce, combine parsley, cilantro, basil, the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic, avocado, lime juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Serve the chicken skewers with a generous drizzle of the green sauce.
