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.
