Ingredients

  • zest of one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1" chunks (I prefer thighs, dark meat is more moist!)

Optional additions:

  • feel free to add sliced red bell pepper, sliced onions or whole cherry tomatoes to skewers if desired

Instructions

  1. Use a microplane to zest lemon, place in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil and all herbs and spices, whisk well.

  2. Cut chicken into 1" chunks and toss in marinade. Place in fridge for at least two hours or as long as overnight. The longer it marinates the more flavor it will have.

  3. When you are ready to grill, heat grill to 400 degrees. Slide chicken (and veggies, if using) onto skewers. Cook chicken on grill for five minutes, turn and cook for five more minutes. Make sure chicken is cooked through, remove from grill.
