Moroccan Chicken Skewers with Lemon and Olives

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 1/4 cup Lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1/2 cup Olives
• 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro
• 8 count Wooden skewers

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric until combined.
3. 3Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. 4Thread the marinated chicken cubes and the 1/2 cup of olives onto the 8 count wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and olives.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be opaque and no longer pink inside.
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with the 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro before serving.
