Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Step 4
Place the cubed chicken into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken Skewers hot, with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Paleo meal.
