    This is my new favourite lemony chicken marinade! I used McCormick’s Italian Seasoning grinder instead of just using oregano and grilled whole chicken breasts, instead of making the kebabs, since I used a grill pan. I am so excited about all the potential for leftovers with this recipe: creamy chicken, kale, and gnocchi soup was on the docket today. I can’t wait to make this recipe again! <3

    Is there a limit on how long they can marinate for due to lemon in the marinade? If I prep them this morning and leave in the fridge until tomorrow night, is that ok? Thanks!

    Just put these in the refrigerator to marinate. Any suggestions on side items? I was thinking of an arugula salad. What dressing works best w/ arugula?

    Used the marinade on chicken breasts, without cutting them into cubes, and it was a big hit. I think this would be great on a Caesar salad. We'll definitely have this one again!

    Gina,
    These are simply fantastic. I made them last week and am making them again this week. I added a few of the garlic cloves onto the skewers and they were delicious! Thanks for another simple and delicious recipe!
