Marinate the Meat
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast or pork tenderloin cut into cubes. Mix well to coat the meat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
