Description

Tender and juicy chicken marinated in a zesty lemon-herb mixture, perfect for grilling and serving at summer barbecues.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound chicken breast cubed

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of 2 lemons

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal)


Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  • Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
  • Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
