Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss chicken cubes with garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Thread chicken onto metal or wooden skewers (if wooden, soak 10 min first), dividing evenly.

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear skewers 3–4 minutes per side without moving, turning once, until edges are charred and chicken cooks through.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate and scatter fresh cilantro over the top.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with lemon wedges and warm bread if desired.
