Description
Juicy grilled herb chicken skewers marinated for maximum flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best results.
- Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the marinade.
- Ensure the grill is hot before placing the skewers on it to achieve a good sear.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skewers for added texture and flavor.
- Always check that the chicken is cooked through thoroughly, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
