Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g of chicken breast, cubed
- 2 lemons (juice and zest)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the lemon juice and zest with the olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper or onion if desired.
- Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve the skewers hot alongside the cardamom rice.
Notes
- You can add vegetables to the skewers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier dish, consider adding chili flakes or a spicy marinade.
