Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (approximately 950g), cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (or Greek yogurt for a tangier marinade)
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Espelette pepper (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
- 2 heaped teaspoons of Dijon or whole-grain mustard
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- Salt, to taste
- Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil (or Greek yogurt), paprika, cumin, Espelette pepper (if using), Herbes de Provence, Dijon mustard, grated onion, grated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, replace the Espelette pepper with cayenne pepper.
- You can use Greek yogurt instead of olive oil for a tangier and creamier marinade.
- Ensure your mustard and spices are certified gluten-free if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
