Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice or salad.
