Ingredients: Arteflame Grill; 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into chunks); 4 cloves garlic (minced); 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped); 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped); 1 tsp sea salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional); 3 tbsp butter (melted); Juice of 1 lemon; Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Introduction

These Polish-style grilled marinated chicken skewers bring together fragrant herbs, garlic, and a perfect grilled sear for a dish that is both flavorful and juicy. Using the Arteflame grill ensures maximum flavor by reverse searing the chicken, locking in the juices, and giving it a perfect golden brown crust without ever burning.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into chunks)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
3 tbsp butter (melted)
Juice of 1 lemon
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
Place them in the grill and stack firewood on top.
Light the paper and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up.

Step 2: Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine garlic, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, melted butter, and lemon juice.
Add chicken chunks and toss to coat evenly.
Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Skewer the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers.

Step 4: Sear the Chicken

Place skewers on the center grill grate at 1,000F.
Sear each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Move the skewers to the flat cooktop and continue cooking.

Step 5: Finish Cooking on the Flat Top

Continue grilling the skewers on the flat top cooktop for about 5-7 minutes, rotating occasionally.
Remove them when the internal temperature reaches 150F (carryover cooking will bring it to 165F).

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy with your favorite grilled vegetables or side dishes!

Tips

Always remove the chicken from the grill when it’s 15F below the final internal temperature as it continues cooking off the heat.
Cook other foods like vegetables or flatbreads around the edges of the flat cooktop while grilling your chicken.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
Rotate skewers frequently for even cooking.

Variations

Spicy Polish Skewers: Add an extra teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a drizzle of hot sauce for a fiery kick.
Honey Mustard Chicken: Mix 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp mustard into the marinade for a sweet and tangy twist.
Smoky Paprika Skewers: Increase the paprika to 1 tablespoon and add a splash of smoked paprika for deep smoky flavor.
Garlic Lemon Herb: Double the garlic and add extra lemon zest for a zesty, aromatic profile.
Polish BBQ Skewers: Brush with Polish-style barbecue sauce in the last few minutes for a caramelized glaze.
