How to grill chicken skewers

To ensure chicken skewers are juicy and flavorful, marinate cubed chicken breast or thigh meat in a well-seasoned marinade for up to 24 hours before cooking. Combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, crushed garlic and herbs of your choice (rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage and oregano all work well with chicken) with salt and pepper and pour over the chicken. After marinating, thread the chicken onto soaked bamboo or metal skewers. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill on in the oven. I added a few sprigs of fresh rosemary in between the chicken pieces to infuse even more flavor into the skewers.
Pre-heat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan then cook the chicken breasts until golden brown (and cooked through) on all sides. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
