Instructions
Prepare the chicken
Cut the chicken breast into 3 cm cubes and place in a bowl.
Make the marinade
In the same bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest from one lemon, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Marinate the chicken
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Thread the skewers
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Grill the skewers
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes until chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
Rest and serve
Remove the skewers from the grill, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
