Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 lb chicken breast cut into 1-1/2″ to 2″ cubes
  • 1/2 C olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 C Chopped fresh chives parsley, oregano, cilantro, and/or mint
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate:

  • Whisk together all marinade ingredients.
  • Place chicken cubes into a gallon-size zipper-lock bag and mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
  • Seal the bag, place in a container, and refrigerate on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator for 3–24 hours; turning once or twice for even marinating.

Cook:

  • Fire up your grill and allow it to preheat while you prepare the kebabs.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers, leaving 1/2″ of space between each cube.
  • Clean and oil your grill’s grate and place the chicken kebabs on the grill leaving about 2″ between each kebab. Turn every 3–4 minutes.
  • After about 10 minutes, check the temps on the kebabs with your Thermapen ONE. As each skewer reaches 155–160°F (68-71°C), remove it from the grill and tent with foil.
  • Rest the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, then serve!
