Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Add chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.

  5. 5

    Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is charred on the edges and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

  6. 6

    Brush with any remaining marinade during the last few minutes of cooking, then rest for 2 minutes before serving.
