Garlic Lemon Chicken Skewers with Thyme

1.Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

2.Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

3.Prepare Vegetables and Skewers: If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaking. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and capsicum.

4.Preheat Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat (about 200°C). Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5.Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown, slightly charred, and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C/165°F).

6.Rest and Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes. Brush lightly with a touch of extra virgin olive oil if desired, and garnish generously with fresh chopped mint before serving immediately.
