Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

  2. 2

    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and mix well to coat. Allow it to marinate for at least 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Remove from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy with a side of rice or salad.
