Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Add 1 lb of chicken breast cubes, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Step 2: While marinating, prepare the lemon yogurt sauce by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between pieces.
  4. Step 4: Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges have nice grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skewers from the grill, let rest for 3 minutes, then serve hot with the lemon yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
