Cut the chicken breast into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, oregano, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake thoroughly.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no more than 4 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill or grill pan and lightly mist with grill-safe cooking spray, or carefully brush with oil.
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers while the grill or grill pan heats up.
Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Chicken is done when internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
Remove from grill; sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
