Description
These Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken Skewers are a quick and easy weeknight meal or summer BBQ favorite. Juicy, flavorful chicken is marinated in a bright, zesty lemon-herb mixture, then grilled to perfection for a delicious, healthy dinner.
Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
2. – Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. – Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
4. – Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto metal or wooden skewers.
5. – Grill the chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
6. – Serve the Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken Skewers immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
– For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
– Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
– Adjust the cooking time as needed, depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces.
