Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grill
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the chicken cubes, ensuring they are fully coated.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2-4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring even spacing.
  3. Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating until all sides are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
