Chicken skewers!

What to have:

4 chicken breasts

Marinade:
olive oil
salt
pepper
red pepper
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons thyme
some orange zest
some lemon juice

For the skewers:
14+ skewers
some peppers or tomatoes (per taste)



How to do it:

1. Place the skewers in water. It will prevent them from getting burnt.
2. Cut the breasts in small squares.
3. Prepare the marinade: Every marinade needs some oil (here: olive oil), some acid (here: the lemon juice), and some aromas (here: peppers, orange zest, thyme). Mix all the ingredients and place the chicken pieces in the marinade. Cover with a plastic membrane and keep it in the fridge (ideally for 1-2 hours). 
4. Place the marinaded chicken breasts in the skewers, add tomato / pepper pieces per taste. 
5. Grill them in the oven for ~1 hour total. After the first 30 minutes, change sides. 

They are so tender and full of aromas! You can enjoy them with tzatziki sauce (more info in the future), pita bread, or some salad. I don't have a full picture as I was so hungry and ate them without thinking of this blog :).
