Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 lemon, juiced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 lime, juiced
• metal skewers
• 1 medium onion, sliced thin
• ⅓ teaspoon crushed saffron
• 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine onion, lime juice, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and saffron in a large glass bowl. Mix in olive oil. Press chicken into the bowl lightly and cover with plastic wrap. Let marinate for 6 hours to overnight, mixing every few hours to make sure chicken is coated.

Step 3

Remove chicken from the bowl, shake off excess marinade, and discard marinade left in the bowl. Place chicken onto metal skewers, making sure it's not too tightly packed.

Step 4

Cook skewers on the preheated grill until chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center, turning as needed, 10 to 15 minutes total.
