Instructions
- Create the Flavorful Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors mingle and infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing for that perfect cooking environment.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring they’re packed nicely but not overcrowded, allowing for even cooking.

- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your sizzling skewers with extra lime wedges on the side for an additional burst of zesty flavor. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Notes
Cut chicken into even cubes for uniform cooking. For deeper flavor, marinate longer if possible. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
