Ingredients

Marinade and Skewers

Preparation

Preparation and Grill

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Add the diced chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

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. Assemble the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

5. Grill the Chicken

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

6. Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with rice or a fresh salad.
