👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ mild Spice

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to ensure all pieces are well coated.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

  8. 8

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
