Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes if using, and skip this step if using metal skewers.
Grilling
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with optional vegetables if desired.
- Preheat the grill over high heat.
- Cook the skewers on the grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or 8-10 minutes total until cooked through.
- Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the skewers with dips or fresh bread. Leftovers can be added to salads or wraps for a quick lunch.
