Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in a tray of water for 30 minutes.
- Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubed pieces and add to a bowl.
- Add all the herbs, zest, olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined. You can use the chicken immediately or place in the fridge to marinate until you're ready.
- Heat the broiler (grill) to high. Thread the chicken onto the wooden skewers evenly and place on a baking tray.
- Place the chicken on a high shelf under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes, turn the skewers and cook for another 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken skewers on plate with a squeeze of lemon juice and some grilled veggies.
Notes
- Cutting the chicken - Cut the chicken into even pieces so they all cook at the same time.
- Variations - Feel free to play around with flavours using different herbs and spices these are so versatile!
- Outdoor grilling - You can grill these outdoors during the summer it'll also give them an extra smoky flavour. On a BBQ they'll need around 3 minutes each side.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or under the broiler (grill) until piping hot all the way through or eat cold. Serve with salad or any sides you like.
- You can freeze these either before cooking or after, make sure to thaw overnight before cooking.
