I understand that you might not have the energy or desire to cook an elaborate dish in the evenings. That's where having reliable recipes comes in handy, allowing you to whip up something delectable and nutritious without much fuss.

In this scenario, exceptional chicken skewers in an aromatic marinade are perfect. Plus, you'll be baking them in the oven, so your kitchen appliance does half the job. You can use the time saved for some well-deserved relaxation. Isn't that the perfect plan?

Chicken skewers from the oven: a weekly staple in my kitchen. They're that delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breast fillets,
  • 2 oz of melted butter,
  • 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika,
  • 1 tablespoon of dried garlic,
  • ⅓ cup of chopped dill,
  • 1.5 teaspoons of salt,
  • ½ teaspoon of pepper,
  • juice of half a lemon.

How to make it:

Step 1. I begin the recipe by preparing the chicken. First, I clean and thoroughly dry the meat, place it on a cutting board, and then cut it into smaller pieces.

Step 2. Next, I put the meat in a large bowl and mixed it with the melted butter, finely chopped dill, and the spices—dried garlic, sweet paprika, pepper, salt, and lemon juice. I also added some oil to the mix.

I thoroughly combine the ingredients in the bowl to make sure they meld well, creating an ideal flavour blend.

Step 3. I then skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto three wooden sticks to ensure the structure is solid.

Step 4. I place the skewers on a baking tray, ensuring no piece of chicken directly touches the tray. This guarantees even cooking on all sides.

I bake the skewers in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
