Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, dividing evenly. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
