Marinade and Chicken

Method

Marinating and Skewering the Chicken

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Cut the boneless chicken breast into uniform cubes (about 1 inch each). Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

3

Prepare the Skewers

While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, this step is not necessary.

4

Skewer the Chicken

After marinating, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
