Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the cubed chicken to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken skewers for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill. You can also use metal skewers if preferred.
