Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-3 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  5. Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, reserve some of the marinade (before adding the chicken) to brush onto the skewers during grilling.
