Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts (diced to 1 inch cubes)
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– Juice of 2 lemons
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Method:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley oregano and salt + pepper in a small bowl.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
Dip the chicken breast cubes into the marinade and make sure that they are covered from all sides. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if time allows which will allow all the flavors to meld together.
3. Prepare the Skewers:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to keep from burning. Place the olive oil-marinated chicken pieces on top, leaving room between each piece.
4. Grill or Roast:
– BBQ: Preheat the grill to medium. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has light grill marks.
Oven Roasting: In an oven that is preheated to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then place the skewers; cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once in between cooking time or until chicken is cooked through.
5. Serve:
And garnish with a little extra lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve with rice, salad or grilled veggies for a full meal!
These skewers are Great for summer BBQs, a light lunch or as part of a Mediterranean feast.
