Lemon and Herb Chicken Skewers
Grilled chicken breast skewers with fresh lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Bright citrus and herb marinade keeps the meat tender and flavorful.
What you’ll doYou will cut the chicken into even chunks, coat them in a lemon, garlic and oregano marinade, then refrigerate for at least an hour. After marinating, thread the pieces onto metal skewers and cook them in a smoking-hot griddle pan, turning every couple of minutes. The high-heat griddling stage is where timing and attention matter most, as the chicken must char at the edges without drying out. A short rest follows before finishing with fresh parsley.
