Time

per serving

One serving: 2 to 3 skewers

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon zest, half of the lemon juice, and salt.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a tiny bit of space between pieces for even airflow.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from heat, drizzle with the remaining lemon juice, and garnish generously with fresh parsley before serving.

Tip 1 of 3

Soak your wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the high heat.

Tip 2 of 3

For the most tender result, slice the chicken into uniform 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly without drying out.

Tip 3 of 3

Do not over-marinate; the acidity in the lemon will begin to 'cook' the chicken texture if left longer than 30 minutes.
