Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes

For the marinade

  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder or 6 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 lemons, juice lemon
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and pour over chicken breasts, cut into cubes. Marinate for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto wooden or metal skewers. If you are using the wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes, so they wouldn’t catch fire.
  • Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side depending on the size of the chicken pieces. See the body of the post for serving suggestions.
