Easy herby lemon skewers
Easy herby lemon skewers showcase marinated bite-sized chicken chunks enriched with fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary, garlic, and bright lemon zest and juice. The marinade tenderizes and infuses the chicken with a citrusy, aromatic flavor. Grilling the skewers produces a golden-brown exterior and juicy interior, making them suitable for outdoor meals or quick indoor grilling.
