Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious chicken skewers!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add chopped bell peppers and onions to the skewers along with the chicken.
If you don’t have a grill, you can bake these skewers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
These skewers are great served with a side of rice, a fresh salad, or pita bread.
