Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper for the marinade.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, tossing to ensure all pieces are well coated.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Nota bucătarului: For best flavor, marinate for at least 1 hour.
4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 10 min.
6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper if using.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't pack the chicken too tightly; leave a little space for even cooking.
7
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Chicken is cooked when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
