Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and all eight herbs: 2 tbsp parsley, 2 tbsp basil, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp thyme, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp sage, 1 tbsp cilantro, and 1 tbsp mint. Stir well to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs chicken breast cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
