Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Cooking Tips:
- To make sure your chicken cooks evenly, try to cut the pieces into uniform sizes.
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water before grilling will help prevent them from burning.
- If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about half as much as the recipe calls for.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little bit of space between each piece.
5. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Serve the skewers hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
