How to Make Lemon Chicken Skewers

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly.
  3. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Thread onto 8 metal skewers, alternating chicken pieces with chunks of 1 green bell pepper (about 1 cup, chopped).
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place skewers on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 12-16 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and golden brown. Do not overcrowd the grill; cook in batches if necessary.
  8. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Enjoy!
