Total Time: 50 mins
Prep Time: 40 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

1 lb good quality chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (They're easier to cube if you cut them while still a little frozen)
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons best quality olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

1 In non-reactive container (glass, good ceramic or stainless steel) combine the cubed chicken, garlic, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, oil and lemon juice, mix well, cover (you can use saran wrap).
2 *Note* You should marinate the chicken for several hours in the refrigerator to get the best taste out of the chicken.
3 Thirty minutes before grilling remove from refrigerator, allowing it to reach room temperature.
4 Thread onto skewers *note*.
5 If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to using.
6 Grill over medium charcoal fire, basting and turning several times, until delicately browned.
7 The recipe also says you can also grill in the oven, but if you've got a charcoal grill, it works much nicer.
8 But if you dont have a charcoal grill; pre-heat the grill. Place chicken on skewers over an oven sheet and cook until browned (6-8 minutes), turning skewers and basting occasionally with the marinade to keep moist.
9 I serve this with baked pita,hummus, Kibbee, and a nice green salad with feta cheese dressing.
