Mediterranean Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp parsley, chopped

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. 02
   Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. 03
   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. 04
   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
5. 05
   Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. 06
   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. 07
   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. 08
   Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides.
