These Zesty Lime Garlic Chicken Skewers are a delightful twist on a classic grilled chicken recipe, perfect for any occasion.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap.
This helps to ensure even cooking by making the chicken an even thickness.
Flatten the chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Flattening the chicken allows it to cook more quickly and evenly.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place them in a shallow container.
Cutting the chicken into smaller pieces makes it easier to thread onto skewers and ensures even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Mixing the marinade thoroughly ensures all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Marinating for at least 1 hour allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
Leave a little space between each piece on the skewer for even cooking.
Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Turning the skewers frequently prevents burning and ensures even cooking.
Serve the skewers hot with a side of picante sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving with a fresh dipping sauce enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
