Servings: 4 skewers
Calories: 134kcal
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 8-10 skewer sticks
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a zip-lock bag, combine chicken, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Rub and mix well inside the bag until chicken is well covered.
- Thread chicken onto skewers.
- Place chicken skewers on the grill to cook turning occasionally until charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve warm with preferred side dish.
Notes
- These skewers don't need to be marinated for hours. The acid from the lime juice can actually break down the chicken and make it tough, so don't keep it in the marinade for more than 2 hours. They take on enough flavor after just a few minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about an hour before grilling to keep them from burning on the grill.
- Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized pieces so that it cooks evenly.
