Description

These flavorful chicken skewers are marinated in a zesty combination of lime, chili, and garlic, perfect for grilling and sharing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. Mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.
  6. Serve hot and savor every bite!

Notes

For best flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or even overnight. For juiciness, avoid over-marinating the chicken.
