Lemon Chicken Skewers

Chicken cubes marinated in lemon, garlic and parsley, threaded onto skewers and grilled over high heat.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 800 g chicken breast fillet
• 3 lemons
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tsp paprika (sweet)
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast into 3 cm cubes and marinate for at least 1 hr chilled with the juice of two lemons, the finely grated garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, 4 tbsp olive oil and pepper.
2. Cut the pepper and red onion into roughly equal pieces so everything cooks evenly on the skewer; soak wooden skewers in water for 20 min.
3. Take the meat out of the marinade, let it drain briefly and only now season with salt – this keeps it juicy inside.
4. Thread meat, pepper and onion alternately onto eight skewers and brush all over with the remaining olive oil.
5. Grill on a hot grill or in a grill pan for 3–4 min per side, 10–12 min total, until the meat has dark grill marks and the juices run clear.
6. Let the skewers rest for 3 min and serve with the third lemon cut into wedges and a little chopped parsley.
