Author: Marilena Leavitt
Recipe type: Main course
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs. chicken thighs or breasts, boneless & skinless
4 TBSP. fresh lime juice
2 TBSP. cloves garlic, chopped
4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
1½ tsp. sea salt & ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 TBSP. Greek honey
½ cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
--- Skewers, metal or wood (if wood, be sure to soak in water for 1 hour)
Instructions
Trim the chicken and pat it dry. Cut into 1½” cubes or cut it into strips.
Prepare the marinade by placing all the ingredients in a big bowl. Mix to combine.
To the bowl, add the chicken pieces and coat each one. Cover and refrigerate for two to three hours.
Thread the chicken onto the skewers. (If you have cut the chicken into strips instead of cubes, gently fold each strip over itself to form a 1½” cube).
Preheat the grill and oil well the grates. Grill the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side. Using an instant read thermometer check the temperature to ensure that the chicken is cooked to 165°F. When ready, place the grilled chicken on a serving platter, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Notes
If desired, you can also skewer pieces or red pepper and/or red onion between the pieces of chicken. Serve with a nice summer salad.
