Ingredients (Serves 6)
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds of Boneless and Skinless Chicken Breast (Cut into 3-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Plus extra for cooking)
- 1/2 cup of Buttermilk
- 1 tbsp of Dried Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 cup of Parsley (Chopped)
- 4 cloves of Garlic (Minced)
- 1 Lemon (Zested and juiced)
- 1/2 tsp of Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp of Ground Black Pepper
Cooking Steps
- Clean the chicken by running it under cold water.
- Then pat dry the chicken with paper towels.
- Cut and discard any fat pieces from the chicken.
- Cut chicken into 3-inch cubes and add to a large ziplock bag.
- In a medium bowl mix the rest of the ingredients: olive oil, buttermilk, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture on top of the chicken into the bag.
- Close the ziplock bag, shake to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Shake and toss the chicken during this period a few times, so it marinates evenly.
- For outdoor grilling, heat the grill until hot and spray it with cooking oil. For indoor cooking, place a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat and add to it about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Arrange the chicken pieces on wooden skewers.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
- Serve with a salad, lemon, and your favorite dressings for dipping.
