Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 600 g chicken breast cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to infuse flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and edges are slightly charred, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 5: Remove from grill and rest skewers for 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to redistribute.
