Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup White vinegar
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 pieces Italian bread or rolls (optional, for serving)
• 8 skewers Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice to make the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken and marinade to a sealable plastic bag.

Step 4

Refrigerate the chicken for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving space at both ends for handling.

Step 7

Grill the chicken skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, rotating to achieve even cooking and slight char marks, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Serve the chicken spiedies hot straight off the skewers, or slide the meat into Italian bread or rolls for a sandwich-style presentation. Enjoy!
