Turkish Chicken Skewers (Dairy & Nut-Free)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of oregano, 0.5 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper.
3. 3Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4. 4Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
6. 6Grill the skewers 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 lightly browned and no longer pink inside.
7. 7Alternatively, heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat (around 375°F or 190°C). Add the skewers to the hot skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. 8Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
