In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the avocado-cucumber salsa by dicing the avocado and cucumber, and mixing them in a separate bowl with lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken skewers hot, topped with the avocado-cucumber salsa for a fresh and zesty finish.
