Marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection.

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Prepare the Marinade

Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Marinate the Chicken

While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Prepare the Skewers

Once marinated, take the chicken out of the refrigerator. Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Assemble the Skewers

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken shish from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
