Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces to form nugget-sized chunks.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated evenly with the marinade.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C).

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even grilling.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the nuggets are nicely charred.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad.
