  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • As needed Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining lemon juice, olive oil, dill, garlic, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Add chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Assemble the skewers by threading marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Let skewers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
