Chicken Skewers
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and add to the marinade. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with rice and a fresh salad on the side.
