Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly.
- Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the lemon garlic grilled chicken skewers with a side of rice, a fresh salad, or in a wrap for a delicious and quick meal.
Tips and Variations:
- Feel free to add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes to the skewers for added color and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- To make indoor-friendly skewers, you can use a grill pan or broil the chicken skewers in the oven until cooked through.
