There is something special about food on a stick that makes every meal feel like a party. These chicken skewers are a staple in my house because they are simple to prepare and disappear from the plate in record time.

For the best results, remember to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least thirty minutes before grilling. This keeps them from burning over the direct heat while your chicken gets that beautiful golden char.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until every piece is well coated in the seasoning mixture.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto your soaked wooden skewers, being careful not to pack them too tightly.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill or a large grill pan over medium high heat.

  6. 6

    Cook the skewers for about ten minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks on the outside.

💡 Tips

You can serve these with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh cucumber salad for a light meal. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and reheat them gently in a pan.
