Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for stronger flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6
Grill the chicken skewers on the preheated grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight char.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
