For the marinade

½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
2 cloves garlic finely minced
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
½ cup red onion finely diced
3 tablespoons chives chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

for the kabobs

2 chicken breasts
8 slices fresh lemon
½ red onion cut into bite sized pieces

Instructions

Marinade Instructions

In a large bowl or freezer bag stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, red onion, chives, salt and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, turning occasionally.

To make the Kabobs

Cut the marinated chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place onto wooden or metal skewers alternating with lemon slices and chunks of red onion. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill about 5-6 minutes per side. The chicken should be cooked through and have a charred, caramelized sear.
