How to Make Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabobs

To make this Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe, you will start by creating a delicious marinade. Place the chicken in a zip top bag or large bowl and cover with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator and marinade for 2-6 hours.

Preheat the grill to 375ºF and skewer the chicken on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. This just helps prevent them from burning on the grill. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF or the chicken is no longer pink on the inside.

Lemon Garlic Marinade Ingredients

Just a few simple ingredients make up this simple marinade. I like to use this on chicken tenders, but this would also be delicious on chicken thighs or breasts.

To make this marinade, you will need:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • zest and juice of one lemon
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp minced flat leaf parsley, or 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

That is really all you need for tender and delicious grilled chicken kabobs.
