Description
Juicy marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection, served over a bed of creamy hummus and garnished with fresh herbs. A flavorful and healthy Mediterranean-inspired dish.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, dividing evenly.
- Grill skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Spread hummus onto a serving platter. Arrange hot chicken skewers on top of the hummus.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or sumac. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
