A Symphony of Flavors
To create this culinary masterpiece, you’ll need a blend of aromatic spices, fresh herbs, and tangy lime juice.

Marinating Magic
Cut 4 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken, tossing to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto 8 presoaked bamboo skewers. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Serve immediately with lime halves and a refreshing cucumber and red onion salad on the side.
