Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken breast (or thighs)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or canola oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1” pieces.
  • Finely chop the parsley and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and herbs for the marinade.
  • Add the chicken to a large bowl and add in the marinade. Stir together to evenly coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water to prevent burning over the grill.
  • Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers.
  • Grill over medium heat, turning as needed until chicken is through.
  • Serve and enjoy, friends.

Notes

Marinade: The chicken can be marinated for 30 minutes, or overnight.
Chicken thighs: You can substitute chicken thighs for the breast for even juicier kebabs.
Freezing: The chicken can be frozen in the marinade prior to cooking in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight before grilling per instructions.
Add veggies: For more color, thread chopped vegetables like onions, peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini in between chicken pieces.
