Juicy Lemon Pepper Chicken Skewers: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Wooden or metal skewers


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Juicy Lemon Pepper Chicken Skewers:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and oregano. Whisk until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
4. Preheat the Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
8. Rest the Skewers: Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or side dishes.
