A delightful twist on classic chicken skewers, infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly.
Ensure all chicken pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor significantly.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Baste the skewers with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of tzatziki sauce for an authentic touch.
