Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs (cubed) and toss to coat; marinate 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Thread 1.5 lbs marinated chicken cubes and 1 cup cherry tomatoes onto 8 metal skewers, alternating pieces.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Place skewers on grill and cook 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and tomatoes are slightly blistered.
