Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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.
