Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl or a zip-top plastic bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create the marinade.

  3. 3

    Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, tossing to ensure every piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 4 hours (do not over-marinate or the lemon will make the meat mushy).

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes tightly onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little room at the ends for handling.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides, lightly charred, and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
