Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Thread the chicken onto skewers, dividing evenly. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
While the chicken cooks, brush the 4 bread slices with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and toast on the grill or in a toaster until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Thinly slice the 1 red onion and chop the 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Serve the skewers over the toasted bread, topped with the onion and parsley.
Step 6
Squeeze extra lemon over the top if desired.
