Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving
- Pita or hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to create a well-blended marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and gently toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. This temperature will ensure that the chicken gets a beautiful sear while remaining juicy inside.
- Skewer the Chicken: Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Make sure not to overcrowd them; allowing space will ensure even cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks on each side. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Notes
- Don’t skip marinating; it intensifies the flavors.
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best taste.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Let chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling before serving.
- Experiment with the arrangement on skewers for better grill marks.
