Description
Juicy chunks of chicken marinated and grilled to perfection, ideal for family dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for heat preference)
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or use a grill pan on the stove.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, and consider adding bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts or tofu/mushrooms for a vegetarian alternative.
