Lemon-Marinated Chicken Skewers with AEVO Avocado Oil

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons AEVO Organic Avocado Oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a bowl, combine AEVO Organic Avocado Oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, honey (if using), oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.
3. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
4. Assemble the Skewers:
   • Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
5. Grill the Chicken:
   • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
6. Serve:
   • Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. You can garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired. These skewers are perfect with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
