Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 4
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, and up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, distributing evenly.
Step 6
Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
