Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, basil, rosemary, salt, thyme and pepper. Add chicken; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Thread 1 piece of the chicken onto each metal or soaked wooden cocktail skewer. (Make-ahead: Freeze on waxed paper–lined baking sheet until firm, about 2 hours. Transfer to airtight container; freeze for up to 2 weeks. Cook from frozen, adding 4 minutes to cook time.) In grill pan or skillet, cook chicken skewers in batches over medium heat, turning once, until golden and no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes.
Makes about 30 pieces.
