Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb of 1-inch cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts to the marinade. Toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, and 1 tsp honey in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Step 5: Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with the summer herb sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
