Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cut the chicken into 1 1/2 inch strips for skewering.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro or parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken pieces in a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for 30-45 minutes (NO MORE than 45 minutes or the chicken will turn white from the lemon). Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in water while the chicken is marinating.

Step 4

Generously grease the grill and heat over medium. Skewer the chicken, evenly divided between 6-8 skewers.

Step 5

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning once during cooking, until cooked through. Serve hot.

I am so glad I tried this! My company raved about the chicken! Thanks for the tip about the skewers. It was my first time using the wooden ones and I wouldn't have done that if I hadn't seen your suggestion.
