Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2

While the skewers are soaking, prepare the marinade. Zest and juice the lemon into a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the lemon juice and zest. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly across the skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the skewers with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete low carb meal.
