Step 1
Combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let sit 5 minutes while you heat the grill.
Step 3
Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving 1/4-inch gaps between pieces for even cooking.
Step 4
Heat grill to medium-high. Oil the grates so chicken won't stick.
Step 5
Grill skewers 3 minutes per side, rotating once, until edges char and center reaches 165°F.
Step 6
Squeeze fresh lemon over cooked skewers and sprinkle with zest. Serve hot.
