Ingredients
- Optional Substitutions:
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into even-sized cubes.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, mustard, paprika, cumin, Herbes de Provence, garlic, onion, and salt.
- Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, tossing until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for enhanced flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F), setting it to grill mode.
- Place the brochettes on a greased wire rack positioned above a tray to catch any drippings.
- Grill in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. Cook until the chicken is fully done and slightly charred.
- Remove the brochettes from the oven and let them rest, covered in foil, for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken tender and juicy.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Marination:For the juiciest chicken, marinate the pieces overnight. This allows the spices to penetrate deeply, enhancing flavor.
Skewering:Leave some space between the chicken cubes on the skewers to ensure even cooking.
Grill Mode:If you want an authentic grilled taste, consider using the broiler setting in your oven, or finish the skewers on an outdoor grill for added smokiness.
