Ingredients

  • 300 g boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra‑virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 wooden skewers (soaked)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken into 1‑inch cubes, add to the bowl, and toss to coat. Marinate for 5‑10 minutes while you soak the skewers.

  3. 3

    Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium‑high heat (about 200 °C). Cook the skewers for 4‑5 minutes per side, until the chicken is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 75 °C.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, let rest 1 minute, then serve with a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired.
