Description
Juicy and flavorful grilled chicken skewers marinated in a delicious blend of spices and herbs, perfect for summer BBQs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and oregano to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Adjust the spices and marinade ingredients to your taste.
