Equipment

Grill or grill pan
Skewers, metal or bamboo
Immersion blender or blender

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1 ½ inch pieces (2 breasts)

Marinade

6 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
½ lemon juiced
1 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

Marinade

Add all ingredients marinate into blender or a jar. Use an immersion blender and blend until creamy and combined.
Cut chicken breasts into 1 ½ inch pieces.
Add the chicken into a bowl with the marinade and let the flavors combine for 30 minutes to an hour. Do not let sit for more than 3 hours.

Cooking Chicken

If using bamboo or wood skewers, make sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes in water to ensure they don't burn while grilling. Metal skewers will work as well.
Thread 3 to 4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill for 3-5 minutes a side, depending on how thick your chicken is. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.
While grilling the chicken, cut a lemon in half and add it to the grill until grill marks appear. When serving, add a squeeze of the grilled lemon juice to the cooked chicken. This is optional, but so delicious.

Serving

Add a few spoonfuls of hummus to a plate, a handful of your favorite greens, olives, a few tomatoes, and cucumbers. Place the chicken skewer on top of the hummus and enjoy.
