Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or lean beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 8 units wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken or beef into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the meat cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more robust flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the hot grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a side of mixed greens or a light cucumber salad.
