Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a resealable plastic bag.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, seal the bag, and gently massage to coat. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
