Preparation Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the diced chicken breast to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

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