Description
Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken Skewers are the perfect dish for a sunny day or a relaxed evening with friends, combining zesty lemon, aromatic garlic, and savory chicken.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. For maximum flavor, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, though up to 4 hours in the refrigerator is ideal.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it heats up, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, preferably with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for longer if possible. Wooden skewers should be soaked in water to prevent burning.
