Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto 8 wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has nice grill marks.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes before serving with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
