Description
Enjoy these tender and flavorful Peruvian Grilled Chicken Skewers, perfect for your summer barbecue. This easy recipe features marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection with a vibrant blend of lime, garlic, cumin, and paprika.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 4 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
- 1 teaspoon Paprika, smoked
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well-blended.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken in the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or preferably overnight.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Squeeze fresh lime juice over them or serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Ensure wooden skewers are soaked to prevent burning.
- Do not overcook the chicken to keep it moist.
- These skewers are naturally gluten-free.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers.
