Method
Marinating the Chicken

Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.

Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix until all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Cooking the Chicken

Skewering the Chicken
Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
