Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. Chicken Breast (thick) ((cut into 1" cubes))

Chicken Marinade

  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¾ tsp. Oregano
  • 2 Tsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • ¾ Tsp. Onion Powder
  • ½ Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • ½ Tsp. Pepper

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ¾ Cup Roughly Chopped Parsley
  • ½ Cup Chives
  • ¾ Tsp. Dried Oregano
  • 2 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ Tsp. Salt
  • ¼ Cup Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Add all marinade ingredients to a large bowl and mix.
  • Cut chicken into 1 ½" cubes and place in same bowl making sure chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Set in fridge for 1-2 hours to marinate.
  • If using wooden skewers, cut skewers in half to give you mini skewers like I did. Then soak skewers in water while your chicken marinates.
  • In the meantime, make your chimichurri sauce by adding all chimichurri ingredients to a food processor. Blend until sauce comes together. This should only take 1 minutes or so. Add to small bowl and chill until the chicken is ready.
  • When your're ready to assemble your chicken kabobs, have a baking sheet and your skewers ready to go. Add 3-4 chicken cubes to each mini skewer and set onto a non-stick baking sheet or a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour remaining marinade (if any) over kabobs.
  • Bake on top rack at 425°F for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Do not overcook or your chicken will be dry.
  • Place skewers onto a large plate and spoon chimichurri sauce over top of your kabobs. Serve hot.

Recipe Notes

The sauce can be used to marinate the chicken as well as topping. Marinate for 15-30 minutes for best results.
