Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Thread the chicken onto skewers, dividing evenly. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze extra lemon over the top if desired.
