2 poundsboneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, marjoram, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, no soaking is necessary.
Step 4
Preheat the grill pan to medium-high heat. (This can be made on an outdoor grill)
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
Step 6
Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has nice grill marks. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken cubes and the heat of your grill.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
