Aromatic Rosemary Lime Chicken Skewers

Healthy Fact of the Day

Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, while rosemary and lime provide a fresh and aromatic flavor profile. This dish is low in calories and fat, yet bursting with flavor from the marinade. Grilling the skewers also helps retain the nutrients and keeps the dish healthy.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

 

Instructions

 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lime zest, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  4. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.

  5. Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

  7. Serve the rosemary lime chicken skewers hot, garnished with additional chopped rosemary and lime wedges, if desired.

Enjoy these flavorful and aromatic rosemary lime chicken skewers as a delicious and nutritious main course or appetizer!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Portioned snack packs like Snackables are a smart way to keep snacking in check because the serving size is built in — no measuring, no second-guessing. At 5 grams of protein per pack, they’re a more balanced option than most grab-and-go snacks of the same price and convenience. To make the snack more filling, pair it with a piece of fruit or a small handful of nuts, which adds fiber and healthy fats to help sustain energy between meals.
