Calories: 321kcal
Equipment
- grill
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Add the chicken, making sure each piece is covered. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Prepare grill for medium direct heat.
- Thread chicken pieces onto skewers.
- Grill skewers for about 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Notes
- For best flavor, use a charcoal or gas grill. When this isn’t an option, a grill pan will work just fine.
- If using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak them at least 20 minutes before threading chicken. This will prevent them from charring.
- Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of cayenne.
